Clemente, nacido en un pueblo de la profunda meseta castellana, alcanzó la cima de sus pensamientos y el cariño de cuantos le rodeaban, a través de una gran sinceridad, y lealtad, en la vida y en el trabajo. Pensaba, que el mejor negocio era ser serio y honrado, que la mayor desgracia era ser pobre, y que, para progresar, había que estar, culturalmente, preparado. Estaba seguro de la meta, pero no del camino. La esperanza, el sacrificio y la sensata ambición, encaminaron el rumbo de su vida. Y unos ojos verdes, que le orientaron continuamente.

Eliseo Pérez con gran creatividad va tejiendo su libro a partir del campo semántico de la última cena; y así como el menú es tan minucioso, así también el libro de Pérez está lleno de datos y estadísticas de todo tipo, interesantísimos. En torno a la comida, el autor hila el presente y el pasado geopolítico, económico, cultural y ecológico. Todo el menú está cargado de historias sagradas y profanas con sus respectivos datos socioculturales. With great creativity, Eliseo Pérez weaves through the semantic field of the Last Supper. The Last Supper is filled with details, full of fascinating data and statistics – this book is meticulous in covering all of them. Closely examining this meal, the author parallels the present with the ecological, cultural, economic, and geopolitical past, and offers a look at the meal’s histories, both sacred and worldly with its respective sociocultural data.
