been two years of work in which he has enough time for everything that is not biography. Whoever thinks that the work became obsessive, you're right. But of course, has been worthwhile. Say in the introduction:
In June 2006, the mayor of Sort, D. Agustin Lopez Pla, spoke of the need to write a biography of Professor Fassmer warning that, if done, would be reduced Fassmer, eventually, to a curious local legend. I felt compelled to take up the gauntlet, first, because the mayor was right, but also for other reasons of equal or greater weight. A few months after his death, published a book claiming to be a biography of Professor Fassmer. It was a kind of hagiography full of false data, collected some artistic propaganda, which Fassmer appeared as a strange little touch with reality. That book came to be distributed in Spain and America. It was unfair that of a life so interesting and, in many respects exemplary would be just an anthology of stories invented for the exclusive use of fans unconditional. "
Fassmer Professor deserved a biography, as it deserves to be told whatever life has been dedicated to making the world more habitable, a biography of truth all shades and nuances of a truly human life.
"... a biography, not a collection of anecdotes peppered with mystery or a simpleton eulogy. The character, a man of complex personality and, literally, extraordinary, with a life touched, in principle so, the improbable, and a relationship with their environment and others that surpassed all conventions, deserve a thorough study, thoroughly documented, reported and narrated with the utmost objectivity. "
Any effort to achieve this did not seem very. Readers will judge whether we succeeded. In what is no doubt we have done everything possible.
At the moment we can only say with certainty that The book will be launched in Sort 30 April 2009, the day of the birth centenary of Professor Fassmer in this population. Will other activities to commemorate the anniversary. Of course, I mantenr informed.
Again, thank you all for your help and we ask you not cease to write. The book has come to an end, but the study on the life of Professor Fassmer still open. We need your comments, your opinions, all you can all make to the work of Professor Fassmer still alive and growing.
Tomorrow tenréis on the web some sample pages from the biography.
We you,
Maria Mir
