"Raval. Del amor a los niños" is an impressive story that shows the authentic weight of the false in our lives and the true consequences that derive from falsehood. In this book everything is real although it may seem incredible and even inconceivable. The work is a double, lucid and bitter lesson in journalism, a book that reflects on journalism from the naked and unyielding practice of a profession increasingly driven to distort itself. The author, armed with the classic instruments of the trade - reason, doubt and writing - brings to light the miseries that lie behind what was presented as a great scandal: the discovery, in 1997, of an alleged network of pederasty in the Barcelona neighborhood of Raval. And he demonstrates what has been, with the passage of time, the real scandal: the accusations that led innocent citizens to prison and public humiliation, that separated children from their parents for years, were false and the product of a series of police, judicial, administrative and journalistic errors.
Arcadi Espada is a Spanish writer and journalist.
