The man who builds bridges between religions and cultures converses with the man who builds bridges in the world of letters, culture and art. Their hybridization as historical and personal richness. The dialogue analyzes the division between East and West, addressing in particular that place of intersection or - as Paz calls it - of "West overturned" which is India, of which the Mexican writer was ambassador from 1982 to 86, becoming a friend of Panikkar. The dialogue is animated and not without contrasts, the figure of Gandhi emerges strongly, in his exemplary exceptionality.
