El título de la obra procede de El antimonio, un relato del escritor siciliano Leonardo Sciascia que apareció en la segunda edición de su libro Los tíos de Sicilia, publicada en 1960. En dicho relato se describe de forma sintética y lírica el cerco de Madrid por los fascistas italianos en 1937. El estudio de la novela de Sciascia se completa con el examen de otros testimonios sobre la guerra civil española, en particular las narraciones de autores como Antonio Tabucchi, Carlo Lucarelli, Bruno Arpaia y Fabrizia Ramondino.

Reúne ensayos sobre tres dimensiones del espacio, tanto del físico como del mental: sí mismo y el otro, nación y pensamiento mítico. Surgen en estas páginas las obsesiones intelectuales del autor: la dificultad y la necesidad del otro, la locura quijotesca y la racionalidad cervantina, el conflicto heideggeriano entre filosofía e historia, el espacio del silencio en la poesía, la contradicción que enfrenta nuestra condición cultural occidental y nuestras racíces mesoamericanas.
