EL HOMBRE DE LA GUANCHA Y OTRAS HISTORIAS (Spanish Edition) Kindle Edition

Spanish Edition by John Reid Young (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars (4)
Un auténtico viaje nostálgico en el tiempo. Ésta es una colección de deliciosos relatos cortos ambientados en las Islas Canarias. Llenos de humor, historia, amor e intriga, el autor nos deleita con su sensibilidad poética, sus dotes de narrativa y un talento observador que nos enamora con un enjambre de fascinantes personajes. Un niño travieso consigue que su padre se enamore de nuevo y un artista inglés se apasiona con una aristócrata española. Tal vez hubo otro pasajero en el avión del General Franco y quizá un extranjero revolucionario se involucra en el tráfico ilegal de emigrantes después de la Guerra Civil. Un joven antropólogo americano investiga porqué la gente de un pueblo piensa que él es un fantasma y dos brujas y una fortuna enredan la vida de una joven dama inglesa. Un espía británico resulta ser solamente un solitario escritor y otro intenta averiguar el misterio que esconde el cofre de un pirata español. Éstas y otras historias nos cautivarán y nos trasladarán, de la mano de divertidos y excéntricos viajeros, con una amena mirada hacia el pasado, al encantador archipiélago canario.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

John Reid Young was born in London’s Welbeck Street in 1957. Although he has spent most of his life in the Canary Islands, home to his paternal ancestors since the middle of the 19th century, he was educated at private schools in England and Scotland. At university he read Law and Politics and completed his studies with a Master’s degree in Diplomatic Studies.

After spending time in the UK and overseas, he returned to the Canary Islands. A family man with a lovely Spanish wife and two sons, John enjoys nothing more than swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, hiking in the mountains and, when time and fox terriers permit, writing.

He owns Tenerife Private Tours with which he finds great pleasure meeting people from all over the world.

He has provided his voice to numerous recordings and translated documents and publications for several organisations. He has published may articles and keeps an historical blog, "Travel Stories in Tenerife and the Canary Islands".

John's collections of short stories confirmed his passion for telling a good story. His first novel, "The Journalist", which is described as an addictive political thriller, has a fascinating, action-packed sequel on the way.
