“…L’autor del llibre reprèn aquest títol en cada capítol i es capbussa en la història familiar, a la recerca dels trets més específics del seu besavi.Un retrat biogràfic on es creuen dues vides, la del biògraf i la del biografiat, separades per un segle d’una gran complexitat política i d’una arquitectura apassionant. I, alhora, una història plena d’anècdotes personals i familiars, i de coincidències en el camp de l’arquitectura i en el de la ideologia política." -- contracoberta…”

“…La segona part és formada per vuit textos més breus, amb un cert carácter miscel.lani: abraça des de la poesia andalusina escrita per dones fins a unes confessions entorn a Màrius Torres –de poeta a poeta-, tot passant per la glossa d’obres d’Isabel Robles i d’Antoni Ferrer, o per la resposta d’un qüestionari sobre Carles Salvador. …”

“…Redactats en català, castellà i francès, responen a una tipologia ben variada: pròlegs, conferències i parlaments, proses i versos, articles a la premsa, biografies, notes de lectura, traduccions, respostes a entrevistes, estudis monogràfics i fins a un text de caràcter personal i polèmic.Dins un to general d’interès sostingut, altrament esperable en un gran escriptor com ell, sobresurten, en un àmbit més assagístic, els articles sobre la guerra civil (apareguts el 1937 i el 1938 a Buenos Aires i a París), una completa i documentada dissecció de la premsa espanyola des de 1875, uns extensos perfils de les personalitats d’Eugènia de Montijo, de Maquiavel i d’Oscar Wilde o un aplec de comentaris sobre el teatre de Shakespeare; i, en un àmbit veí de la literatura creativa, la traducció d’un llibre de poemes de Paul Valéry i uns goigs sobre la seva població natal" -- Contracubierta…”
