I borrow Plutarch's famous expression referring to those who, like, supposedly, Alexander the Great and Caesar (in which, by the way, I disagree) had lives that presented relevant similarities to the point of turning them into authentic "parallel lives" to give them meaning. different: that of those life experiences, not necessarily connected to each other (although sometimes they are) but that are carried out by the same person. My admired (for so many reasons) Francisco Sosa Wagner has described it admirably in his recent book “The Bohemians Who Spoke German” when he said: “for me, the satisfactory life is the one that takes place in various settings, such as in the theater.” or in the circus, where there are several rings in which complementary or contradictory things can happen.” In Myself caso, I dedicate most of my days to a very rewarding professional activity, such as developing my global role at KPMG, which allows me to travel the world, have frequent contact with other geographies and cultures, and, above all, with people much smarter than me, which is always a privilege.
This work, regardless of its commercial aspect, also has an indisputable intellectual component, which forces me to stay updated through reading books and publications and has allowed me, recently, to publish a book about my personal reflections regarding the evolution of banking regulation in the last fifteen years. Logically, this professional task, which took over from that previously developed in the State Attorney's Office, in different senior positions in the Administration or in the Spanish Banking Association, is joined by the more personal and family sphere, which has recently UK Phone Number been added a new actor, Atom, our dog, whom we adopted five years ago and who increasingly demands more time, attention and affection. But the real object of these lines is my recent, and growing, literary activity, in which, by the way, FIDE It has a lot to do with it, since it began, precisely, with a short story published in 2018, which was followed by another in 2022. It was just the beginning.
The pandemic, and the confinement, which had such terrible effects, had an obvious consequence: for many months I was not able to travel, either in a professional or family context, which gave me time that I usually do not have. Apart from reading and rereading as I had not done for a long time, those months allowed me to write, in this order, a play (Warsaw 1939), which premiered in Madrid the following year, a novel, Stefan's Little Bookstore Zweig and laid the foundations of another (On the banks of the Rubicon). There is also a common thread to almost all of these works: the Almuzara publishing house, to which I owe, allowed us to get to know each other in a more comprehensive way, in all our dimensions and this has been, by far, the best thing about this experience. For this reason (apart from some no small detail) when someone asks me if I will leave my present professional activity or another that could replace it to dedicate myself fully to literary activity, my resounding answer is that happiness, or, at least, my happiness , is found in this duality and, therefore, I will do my best not to abandon it, since the different activities provide me with.
