Words belong to the realm of passion, and images to the realm of ideas. This is the book for words (science fiction narratives, spy or detective stories) and for images (comics).

It explores and recounts how, for example, the SAS manages to know 4 adventures a year, every year for 30 years; where Agatha Christie drew inspiration for the character of Hercule Poirot and why it was believed that there is intelligent life on the planet Mars; and on what backgrounds the graphic "superheroes" engage in their extraordinary feats.

Thus, it attempts to demonstrate that despite the distinctions between high, serious, or great literature and mass, popular, simplistic literature prone to looseness, there are no ideas without passion and, above all, no passion without ideas.
