Submitted to heaven is a book that in its epic of the friendship of these two tremendous Antonios followed in their adventurous itineraries, without limits or ties, without measuring the possible consequences, erect what fable that, according to the writer, goes in search of “an understanding of freedom without masters, without borders, unlimited, even at the risk of losing one’s life or a false stability”. Something like not to get lost. (Julio Martínez Molina).
