Santiago Posteguillo, professor of English at the Universitat Jaume I and renowned writer, starred the last session of the series "Diàlegs a la Llotja ', in which he spoke with Vicente J. Benet, Professor of Audiovisual Communication and Advertising at the UJI, on historical novels and cinema.

‪Posteguillo highlighted the importance of the Humanities not only for its contribution to the world of entertainment with the literature, cinema or television but also for its efforts to preserve the past.  “‪Entertainment can be used to remember where we come from so we can understand what went wrong to make better decisions in the future.  ‪Preserving the past is part of our job, and it is essential to do it in a novel way to capture audiences" he said.

‪In this line, Posteguillo claimed the didactic component in historical novels.  ‪Thus, he noted  "there is nothing harmful in the reader having the double satisfaction of having spent a good time reading a novel and having learnt.  ‪I am interested in maintaining this educational-cultural component in my work.  ‪You just have to find a way to not be pedantic.” ‪As an example, he explained that he “splashes” his novels with quotes in Latin, Greek, etc. as for creating the atmosphere and for the reader to be aware that these languages were spoken; but always translated so the reader doesn’t feel distant from those words
