Add to basketThomas, the young German engineer, is raped by a wealthy Pakistani feudal lord. In his desperation, the German beats his attacker, abuses the women in the house and runs away with the future favourite of the powerful Heydar Khan. These acts strike at the dignity of the great lord, who sets out in pursuit of the young man, recognising no borders.
Heydar's life has been marked by violent acts that cannot be forgiven by those who have been affected by them. The story reveals the ostentation of power of the great landowners, who know no limits to their actions and, on the other hand, the outrageous subjugation of the popular classes of the Asian country.
Destiny wants to unite the fugitive couple with an unrecognised son of Heydar Khan and together they plan revenge. Will they be able to achieve their goal or will the magnate slip away by dealing them a fatal blow?
Will the love that has arisen between Thomas and Nazanin, the beautiful young slave who runs away with him, be successful or will they suffer the most atrocious punishment?
A story full of relevance that reflects behaviors that are at odds with our Western customs.
Nacióoacute; el añntilde;o 1952 en Santiago en el seno de una familia de clase media con un padre abogado y una madre corredora de propiedades. Cursó la enseñanza primaria y secundaria en el Colegio Alemáaacute;n de Santiago. Desde muy chico fue un asiduo lector, tanto en español como en alemán.
Estudió luego, desde 1971, en la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Chile, obteniendo el año 1978 el tíiacute;tulo de arquitecto.
Se casó el año 1975 a los 22 años con María Soledad Silva, con quien permanece casado desde esa fecha, habiendo tenido 5 hijos a los que educó en colegios de habla alemana.
Con su esposa formaron el año 1979 la Empresa Constructora Ramcon Limitada, la que dirigió hasta el año 2015. Para ponerse al día con las tecnologías aprendió, primero, programación computacional, más tarde dibujo asistido por computador (autocad) y finalmente la versión más moderna de los sistemas BIM, Revit. Tambiéeacute;n hizo cursos de administración de empresas y negocio inmobiliario.
Desde los tiempos colegiales siempre tuvo habilidad para la escritura, tanto como para la redacción de ensayos. El año 2005, tardíamente, se decidió emplear su capacidad para escribir una novela, la que sería precursora de otras tantas que tiene escritas hasta esta fecha.
El año 2015 decidió cerrar su empresa y dedicarse exclusivamente a su tarea como escritor. Con tal motivo se incorporó al taller literario de Gonzalo Contreras, siendo ésta la segunda experiencia de este tipo, después de haber estado antes con Carla Guelfenbein. El año 2016 hizo en la Facultad de Letras de la Universidad Diego Portales un Diplomado en Escritura Creativa, graduándose con nota 7. Además, hizo un curso virtual de Lectura Profesional dictado por la Asociación de Escritores de España.
Habiéndose interesado en la novela histórica, el escritor ha hecho exhaustivas investigaciones en torno a la historia de Chile y ha participado en dos seminarios dictados por la Universidad San Sebastián relativos a los tiempos de la Colonia y de la Independencia.
