Abstract
El mal de Corcira is a novel by Lorenzo Silva, in which Bevilacqua (a member of the Civil Guard) is set to investigate the murder of a former ETA supporter, and recalls the years he had fought terrorism. When the terrorist group ceases to exist, Bevilacqua is able to reflect on the fight, in a mixture of personal experience memoirs from his youth with the knowledge he had gained with age. In his thoughts, Bevilacqua reveals the totalitarian ideology of ETA, highlighting the Law as the ideal form to fight terrorism, and pointing to the importance of not accepting hate ideologies that plan to threat freedom. The main lesson from the novel is to avoid the plague of Corcyra (which Thucydides wrote about when reporting the Peloponnesian War) in our days, and that the hatred that poses danger to social peace and freedom be overcome by the legal precepts of Ulpian.
