Un recorrido antropológico por los secretos más ocultos y reveladores de los números. Una aproximación distinta a esos aliados esenciales para el desarrollo de las civilizaciones a lo largo de la historia. Los números pueden ser tan perversos como misteriosos. En un inicio surgen con sencillez, de forma «natural»: 1, 2, 3 Luego, con la misma simplicidad, se dividen: 1/2, 2/3, 3/5 Y, a partir de aquí, se vuelven irracionales, complejos, imaginarios. Los números llevan a sus espaldas una poderosa historia y podríamos atribuirles incluso un rostro humano, sobre todo si, en lugar de mirarlos de frente, se miran de reojo o desde perspectivas curiosas. El 0, por ejemplo, que tuvo que esperar mil años antes de que Occidente lo tuviera en cuenta, se ha convertido en el dígito más utilizado del mundo. Menos afortunados aún fueron los números negativos, considerados como ficticios por Descartes e inaceptables para Pascal. Desde un enfoque antropológico, ligero a la vez que riguroso, Tommaso Maccacaro y Claudio M. Tartari revelan en este libro algunos valores y significados que los números han adquirido a lo largo de la historia como símbolos proféticos o augurales: la «mala fortuna» del 13, por ejemplo, que comenzó en Mesopotamia; o la connotación negativa del 17, que se remonta a la interpretación que los primeros cristianos hicieron de esta cifra. Asimismo, desvelan los secretos más inauditos de números simples como 1, 1 y 0, o bien de alfa, «el número mágico del que el hombre no encuentra comprensión».
