M-1
Tracta d'un polític populista i el seu entorn. Cada capítol comença: "Quan busques el poble acabes trovant...una persona treballadora...un noi potser de disset anys..." i acaba " quan busques el poble acabes trovant el vell.... cada vida tibant en la xarxa de totes de totes lesvides... feble com el més feble, fort com el més fort, el poble és la república, el poble ets tu.
