Tras deslumbrar a los lectores y la crítica con su análisis de la filosofía del siglo XX en El olvido de la razón, Juan José Sebreli dedica su nueva y brillante obra a la figura del héroe en la sociedad contemporánea, a partir de cuatro mitos universales de origen argentino: Evita, Gardel, el Che Guevara y Maradona.
¿Cómo se construye el mito? ¿Qué similitudes guarda con la vida real de los personajes? Con estas dos preguntas como guía, Sebreli pasa revista a las circunstancias vitales y las características personales de estos cuatro iconos y desentierra un elenco de contradicciones rabiosas y paradojas flagrantes: la pasión por la alta costura de la «abanderada de los humildes»; el desganado oportunismo de Gardel; el amor a la violencia del Che Guevara y los devaneos y alardes de Diego Maradona, siempre entre el escándalo y el fraude.
Sebreli observa con precisión microscópica las conductas y logra un ensayo maduro y reflexivo para todos los lectores lúcidos, que no podrán sino coincidir con la cita de Bertolt que encabeza el libro: «Pobres los pueblos que necesitan héroes».
Libro galardonado con el I Premio de Ensayo Debate-Casa de América.

Reivindica la posición de intelectual libre, no ha pertenecido a ningún partido político ni a instituciones académicas, ni ha gozado de prebendas o subsidios oficiales.
