L'Inquisizione spagnola è da sempre sinonimo di violenza e intolleranza. Di fatto non c'erano eretici in Spagna, e l'Inquisizione si scagliò contro i marrani, gli ebrei convertiti, sospettati di fare ritorno a pratiche religiose israelite.

Published now for the first time, together with photographs of Bacon's living quarters, kitchen and bedroom, his bookshelves stacked high with Aeschylus, T.S. Eliot and other volumes, trousers draped over a chair, a fractured mirror broken in who knows what incident, this is an astonishing document. Straightforwardly presented, it gives us the sense of having been invited in by Bacon as if he has briefly gone out to buy his newspapers.
