El libro mezcla la historia de los ingenieros del rey Felipe II (representados por Antonelli), con la búsqueda por el autor en los archivos de América y Europa de un documento o mapa que demuestre la intervención, dada por supuesta en tantos escritos universitarios, del ingeniero Antonelli en el trazado de la parrilla que dio origen al caso antiguo de Río de Janeiro.Esa mezcla de lo histórico y lo actual le permite al autor reflexionar sobre la actitud de tanto ingeniero que da respaldo a proyectos insensatos del poder, sin atender a los intereses que se juegan en ello. También desmitifica los «hallazgos» de una investigación universitaria más atenta, en muchos casos, al ego de los profesores que a la constatación de hechos. Finalmente, también narra la experiencia actual de un español residente en Río de janeiro.El libro ha sido publicado con éxito en Brasil, por la editora Pontejo.
