"We want to meet the author": who is the Argentine writer who gave his book to the kings of Spain

Alell Peiró Ambrosi He was born in Salta but has lived in the city of Córdoba for several years. In the only visit outside the VIIIth International Congress of the Spanish Language (CILE) who made the kings of Spain in 15 hours in the city, she managed to get them her book: Inca code. "We want to meet the author"they said.

With a little more than 30 years Alelí holds a degree in administration, specializing in innovation and new technologies, and a mentor from the country's Ministry of Production. But numbers are not his only pbadion. As a girl, she wrote poems, she is a yoga teacher, founder of the discipline yoga trekking, gives literature clbades and is obsessed with the realization of what is proposed.

Last Wednesday, I knew that the kings of Spain had to visit the museum Emilio Caraffa, located in front of Plaza España, very close to their work. It was the only contact the monarchs would have with the streets of the city of Córdoba, outside the guarded perimeters of the Teatro del Libertador General San Martin, the main venue of the Congress, and the Sheraton Hotel, where they stayed.

The Caraffa Museum was no less guarded. Several blocks before the fences started and in every corner, the police asked for a piece of identification. The order was that no one without accreditation would come as kings would be in the area. The work of Alelí is located only a few meters from Caraffa. This stroke of luck made him leave the office when he was on the last ring of the security operation. The place where Felipe and Letizia would spend a few minutes later.

"I had with me two copies of Inca code, the truth that I wanted them to have after hearing the answer of Mario Vargas Llosa to the President of Mexico, López Obrador ", the author revealed to Infobae. That is to say that a few moments ago, while the Peruvian writer was delivering her speech at the opening of the CILE, she had felt the need for kings to read their book.

"López Obrador has criticized the kings of Spain by telling them to take charge of what happened during the pre-Hispanic conquest, and Vargas Llosa asked him to look at what is happening today with the aborigines," commented the writer. and shared: "that's why I felt the need to have it, because with this book I propose something similar, not looking at the past, but look at the present and think about what is being done now by our identity"

That's why Vargas Llosa has finished talking. Aleli grabbed two books, put them in his wallet and went out on the street. He walked the few meters separating his work from the museum surrounded by policemen. He tried to explain to a member of the organization that he needed to send his novel to kings, but they told him that it was impossible. It is at this time that a girl from the organization, native of La Rioja, makes her appearance.

The daughter of Rioja was accredited to enter the museum during the visit of the kings and agreed to try to bring them one of the copies of Inca code. The other was Alelí, in case they would pbad near the fence. Felipe and Letizia arrived in a black van surrounded by all the royal guard, saluted from afar and entered the museum. The author has barely seen them pbad.

But inside the Caraffa, the reporter managed to give them the book. A guard approached Felipe and Letizia who, after receiving him, went to La Rioja. "We want to meet the author, is not it?". "No, it's out," the girl replied, shaking. "I also want one, tell him to go to the Sheraton where we invite him to dinner, to ask Josep Borrel," added the Spanish Foreign Minister, who had attended the sequence.

The protocol did not allow Alelí to enter the Caraffa Museum, nor that on the way kings would pbad near the containment barriers to talk to him. However, Infobae He captured the moment when, through the intermediary of a member of the Royal Guard, the author managed to get them the second copy.

"When the King left me from where I was, I started to say I am the writer & # 39; and Borrel, who knew who I was because of everything I had heard inside, sent someone to look for the book that I had. Then I went upstairs and they said that at night I went to the Sheraton to have dinner with them, "said Aleli about the previous meal that he had shared with the Spanish delegation.

"We went to dinner in one of the most beautiful restaurants here, San Honorato, it was a fabulous dinner where he was José Borrel, the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, director of the Cervantes Institute, Luis García Montero, the Spanish consul in Córdoba, another writer related to international issues, the secretaries, are all Spanish remained in the city, because the kings returned after noon, "he said.

About dinner Aleli told Infobae that they talked about his book, that a visit to Salta was pending and that there were also current problems, among others: the situation in Venezuela and the need for the freedom of gender to gain more ground in the world of languages.

The next language congress will be held in Arequipa, Peru. This is perhaps one of the reasons why the Iberians became so interested in the plot of Inca code. Also that the speech of Vargas Llosa opened the way. Aleli saw the opportunity in front of her eyes and went to fetch her. He woke up in the kings of Spain and in his entourage, interest in a history of conquest, written on the other side.

What is it about Inca code?

Alelí studied for two years on indigenous peoples and Incas. The protagonist, Martin, is a 17-year-old boy, who was stolen by treasure thieves that he had kept: a gold plaque from the ancient Inca civilization. To retrieve it and decipher the encrypted code, look for the help of Salta archeologist Christian Vitry.

Both embark on a journey back in time to discover the Inca culture and all its mysteries. They must therefore venture into the Calchaquíes valleys, the ancient Inca empire and Machu Pichu. They will also be accompanied by María and Princess Quispe Sisa, who represent the Andean woman as an important agent of history.

According to the author Inca code, edited by Polo ediciones, tells one of the greatest scientific events of recent times: the Llullaillaco mummies. He promises to overwhelm the reader, through a fiction interspersed with real data, in one of the world's greatest empires.
