"In my first encounter with the book [Pilgrims of Eternity], and influenced by the title, I thought it was a work of fiction. However, as I began reading the first page... I couldn't put it down. In fact, it's not a historical novel, but rather a collection of interpretations based on Portuguese and Spanish chronistic sources. Yet, it has the great virtue of being as captivating to read as a novel. Or rather, as engaging as a very well-written novel! It is a mature, critical, and balanced work of reflection on a range of subjects that have often been approached without the necessary questioning and doubts that the sources present and, above all, without the humanism that I believe is essential. This work encompasses all of that. The literary style does not diminish its scientific value; on the contrary, it enhances and appeals to the readership, stimulating them—it is a pleasure to read."
