The writer Carlos Piegari write about this book

The book is very interesting because Napalpí and the hundred years that passed, is an excuse for the writer to tell us in a wonderful work about the plundering of the red quebracho, the founding of a city with a mythical name, the military pacification campaigns (why do they send the military to pacify), the appropriation of aboriginal territory, deforestation (the Chaco is one of the provinces with the most deforestation in the country) before to plant cotton, now to grow transgenic soy (for profitability), the loss of sovereignty of the Paraná River… Etc.And we say etcetera because throughout the history of Chaco and the country, there has been a plan of systematic plundering, which today, more than ever, is in force.
