About this ebook

Leonardo and Mary-Angel is the story of a sensible young man in search of family foundations and stereotypes to imitate, striving to define himself for the future.

But when the future brings forth love, rivalry, and desires, Leonardo puts his homemade philosophy to the test while hanging on to innocence.

Written in Spanish amid the onslaught of the 1980's civil war, Leonardo embodies the pen's stress, uncertainty, and reality dissociation that plagued young souls caught between a noble ideal and the ethereal hatred that seared the Salvadoran conscience.

Translating Leonardo into English will forever loop around laboring to convey exactly how Leonardo perceives an environment foreign to his nature within, his reactions, reasoning resources, sentiments, and utter despair.

Follow not just the plot but also the embedded reasoning behind Leonardo's redeeming decisions. Leonardo and Mary-Angel depicts a formidable battle against dislocated instincts for the sake of moral balance. As Leonardo fought to overcome his rival, “The soul weighed more and the body was lighter, and the fruit of his insensateness choked him like and asphyxiating gas. Then Leonardo discovered that heartbeats give a sensation like taste of circumstance.”
