Summary :
Barcelona, Octobrer 1998. During his trial, Pedro VARELA GEISS, in a vibrant speech, proclaims his innocence, insisting that he is a mere bookseller and historian concerned with finding out the truth about the alleged atrocities committed during the Second World War. April, 1988. A crowd, saluting in the nazi-facist way, shouts the name of Adolf Hitler. Pedro VARELA, the alleged bookseller and historian, stands center stage, encouraging the audience : gas chambers never existed ; black people invade and contaminate our Europe; Hitler was a true democrat and Auschwitz...a great city. TALES OF A BOOKSELLER - with humour and irony - exposes the twisted rationale of an ideology based on ignorance and cynicism and also reminds us that it is still ever-present.
