From the classics, to which he devoted his whole life, and to the modern, such as Emilio Ledo also George Steinerwith whom he lived as a reader, student and friend.

He took from the perennial drawer of wisdom the most important of his learning and turned it into a kind of poem of knowledge which, by becoming part of a modern work, is published with the zeal and excitement of cleanliness by cliff (Sandra Olu, her director, has plenty of reasons to be happy.)
