The last

It's called "STRANGE HAPPENING IN RIO LOBOS" and is available on Amazon. This novel is written originally in Spanish but I also translated into English, because it is directed to the large international audience.

Here I present a brief synopsis and the first pages in both Spanish and English so that you know what's going on.

I hope you like

 

My hobbies

I'm so outgoing and hedonistic and I have a lot of interests and tastes, but focusing on the most important:

Literature I like mostly the great writers: Cervantes, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Hugo, Flaubert ... My childhood idol was Lope de Vega. In my youth, my idol was Oscar Wilde: I loved his writing and, above all, his one-liners. I also love Kafka and Camus, but I must admit that they are like an inside copy of Dostoevsky.

Music I'm a compulsive audiophile. I like listening, singing and dance many different styles of music ... Of course, I like good music. Among my favorites, classical music: Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Debussy, Mahler, Schubert, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky ... and let me on the road to twenty or thirty more.

As for modern music, I love The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John, David Bowie, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel ... and forty or fifty more. I'm also a great lover of jazz. When great musicians come to Madrid I always try to see them... And when I go to New York, I never miss the event at the Blue Note, -even the waiters know me-. 

Cinema I recognize that in recent years I don't go to see movies, but the main reason is because there are no Hollywood films like the 40's and 50's or as "The Godfather". I'd like be able to meet some film geniuses like Kubrick, Hitchcock or Welles ... which by the way for others must have been very bad, because neither won the Oscar.

Painting I love the paint and go to museums especially where there are pictures of my favorites painters : Velázquez, Rembrandt, Goya, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh and Picasso.

Travel It's one of my weaknesses. In theory, I want to go anywhere because of all my travel bag very positive conclusions. Anyway, as I am fiercely cosmopolitan New York attracted me, for me, the capital of the world, Paris and London.

Other things I love The sea, beach, boats, mountains, countryside, skiing, tennis, partying, spending time with nice people ... and a lot of nice things that I can't afford to lose.
