Historia crítica y documentada del cine independiente en España, 1955-1975

El Universo del Pensar tiene múltiples facetas. Destacamos las operaciones que realizamos cuando tenemos que organizar información y quehaceres diarios a las que reconocemos como la microfísica del pensar, el gran verbo pensar y todas sus derivaciones (comparar, imaginar, describir, etcétera).
