'Destino' Authors - Virginia Salazar and Abelardo
The first novel of the two, written with fellow author Virginia Salazar, takes inspiration from the lives of two individuals whose separate and contrasting characters are forcibly connected by their sharing a common destiny. One was once a member of the embassy corps in the United States, while the other grew up along rural streets of Italy, dealing with social and economic hardships.
Virginia Salazar is an intelligent and curious woman whose ability to see the bigger picture, connect stories and humanize historical figures is celebrated in the biography of her distant ancestor, General Thomas Wright, an Irish patriot who fought for Latin American independence during the 19th century. Her second novel, "Palmas for my General", is a homage to her family member. This book combines her research powers with her own life experiences to unlock the mystery surrounding Wright, his background and the circumstances that shaped his journey.
Abelardo, who shares his name with one of his ancestors, has spent his career as a diplomat but now decides to venture into fiction writing as his newfound experience has forced him to look at politics through a different lens. Virginia, also somewhat intrigued by his work, helps him write a novel together, following its protagonists as they face obstacles and cross-path each other. The words dance between Abelardo's humorous and irreverent approach, and Virginia's rigorous approach to storytelling as she endeavors to write an accurate portrait of these two intrepid characters.

Описание книги от Virginia Salazar Wright
ABELARDO POSSO SERRANO
Estuvo muchos años dedicado a su profesión como diplomático y catedrático universitario, cuando escribió y publicó algunos libros sobre Derecho, Relaciones Internacionales y Ciencias Políticas, para incursionar, recién, en novelas de ficción. Esta primera novela suya, con su coautora Virginia Salazar Wright, es una especie de biografía de dos personas, que únicamente por los avatares de sus vidas de emigrantes en América, un nuevo mundo de oportunidades y contrastes, terminan tratando de trazar un destino común, dentro de una combinación de aspectos contradictorios, de dos personalidades de orígenes diferentes y conductas disímiles, unidas forzadamente.
VIRGINIA SALAZAR WRIGHT
Es una persona intelectualmente inquieta, que demostró su calidad de autora en la biografía comentada de su antepasado, el General Thomas Charles Wright, un patriota irlandés, héroe de la independencia latinoamericana, protagonista de la épica republicana de Simón Bolívar. Luego de Palmas para mi General, la obra en homenaje a su antepasado, combina su capacidad de investigadora histórica con sus experiencias, relatadas y propias, para desatar con Abelardo Posso Serrano, las muy posibles existencias de dos emigrantes, de la Persia anterior a los Ayatolas y de la Italia empobrecida, en los albores del siglo pasado, que se encuentran en ambientes americanos inhóspitos y enmarañados, como sus propias vidas. La saga observada, desde dos ángulos distintos: el de Virginia Salazar Wright, que pretende mantener rigurosidad; y el de Abelardo Posso Serrano, por su particular humor, irrespetuoso y poco convencional, logran el relato de los destinos de los dos protagonistas principales, desparramados en laberintos de casualidades, equivocaciones y aspiraciones desarticuladas.
