Como escribir\u00eda m\u00e1s tarde en una de suspremiadas columnas en Vanily Fair, se vio depor\u00adtado de repente \u00abdel pa\u00eds de los sanos al otro lado de la dura fronteraque rodea la tierra de la enfermedad\u00bb. A lo largo de los siguientesdieciocho meses, hasta su muerte en Houston el 15 de diciembre de 2011, sigui\u00f3escribiendo con la misma fre\u00adcuencia y brillantez que siempre,asombrando a sus lectores con su capacidad de trabajo en las peorescondiciones. Durante su enfermedad, un c\u00e1ncer dees\u00f3fago, Hitchens rechaz\u00f3 insistente y gallardamente el consuelo de lareligi\u00f3n, y prefiri\u00f3 enfrentarse a la muerte mir\u00e1ndola de frente. En esteemocionante relato de esos meses, Hitchens describe los tor\u00admentos de la enfermedad, discute sus tab\u00faes yanaliza c\u00f3mo transforma la experiencia humana y cambia la relaci\u00f3n del enfermocon el mundo que le rodea. Mortalidad es la historia ejemplar de la resistencia de un hombre a retrocederal enfrentarse a lo desconocido, as\u00ed co\u00admo unapenetrante mirada a la condici\u00f3n humana. Intenso y poderoso, atravesado de sucaracter\u00edstica inteligencia, el testa\u00admento de Hitchens es una obraliteraria valiente y l\u00facida, una afirmaci\u00f3n de la dignidad y el valor del serhumano.Dicen que cuando uno se enfrenta cara a cara con la muerte algo cambia en su interior, como si la certeza del propio fin pusiera en marcha un mecanismo que acaba otorgando al ser humano una perspectiva distinta de las cosas. Sin embargo Christopher Hitchens no vivi\u00f3 ninguna epifan\u00eda. Hasta el \u00faltimo d\u00eda sigui\u00f3 siendo el ateo deslenguado y esc\u00e9ptico que el mundo hab\u00eda conocido.\u2022 http:\/\/cultura.elpais.com\/cultura\/2012\/11\/02\/actualidad\/1351885723_386887.html &#8211; Ultimas palabras del gr\u00e1n polemista.
