Description

El escritor Miguel Donoso Pareja confiesa que en su vida existieron dos modelos: el de su padre -hasta reconocer que no era capaz de emular al navegante y matemático-, y el de su tío Alfredo Pareja. Admira al escritor tanto como al ser humano: por su deseo permanente de aprender y la exigencia implacable consigo mismo, cuanto por su vitalidad. Recuerda las visitas familiares, cada semana, de su tío a la Península de Santa Elena, aprobaba en silencio las lecturas juveniles de Donoso, e impuso un quiebre de calidad con Las mil noches y una noche. Como estudiante en casa de su abuela materna en Guayaquil, el autor conoció a otro Alfredo Pareja: el de su agitada rutina diaria de escritor y hombre de negocios, visitaba su casa, fascinado por su inmensa biblioteca, a la que tenía libre acceso, poco después, su tío Alfredo iniciaría sus largos años de viajero, y se reencontrarían pocas veces, en Quito, en la década de 1980. El autor concluye la emotiva reseña con una breve síntesis valorativa de la producción de Pareja Diezcanseco.
The writer Miguel Donoso Pareja confesses that two models existed in his life: that of his father- even as he recognized that he was not capable of emulating the sailor and the mathematician-, and that of his uncle Alfredo Pareja. He admires the writer as well as the human being: for his permanent desire to learn and the implacable demands he made on himself, more so his vitality. He remembers the family visits, each week, of his uncle to the Península of Santa Elena, he approved, in silence, the juvenile lectures of Donoso, and imposed certain standards in Las mil noches y una noche. The author got to know a different Alfredo Pareja when as a student he used to visit his maternal grandmother's house in Guayaquil: the busy daily routine 01 a writer and businessman, he used to visit his house, fascinated by his immense library to which he had free access. A little later his uncle Alfredo would begin his long years as a traveler and they would reencounter each other a few times in Quito during the 1980's. The author concludes the emotional review with a short synthesis and assessment of Pareja Diezcanseco's output.
