Alejandro Prado Jatar

Alejandro Prado Jatar is an engineer who has dedicated himself to scientific research for over forty years. Since completing his academic studies with a master’s degree in Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, he has worked on projects focused on the proper use and conservation of renewable natural resources, environmental pollution control, and the sustainability of different energy sources, as well as providing technical advice in each of these fields.

In 2016, he wrote his first book, 'Dasefíos sobre el tecaldo'. Please read the title again to see if you notice its errors. The work was created as part of a collection of humorous and reflective stories, with the purpose of playfully challenging the author’s dyslexia.

With his second book, in 2019, Alejandro once again confronted his dyslexia to confess the adventures and complicated events that occurred from the time he met Mariana until they were married. He decided to create the collection 'Los milagros existen Uno de ellos se llama Mariana', which he wrote as a special gift to celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.

In 2020, he embarked on a rather provocative literary project: to conceive a novel, stepping away from the humor genre and entering the complex world of political history, coups d’état, exile, and clairvoyance. This led to the publication of 'La trinidad del tiempo', a perfect hinge between the rational world and virtual reality.

Between 2022 and 2024, the author managed to gather several of his works shared during his time at the renowned Palabreros Literary Workshop. The enriching experience and what he learned among that select group of Hispanic American writers living in the United States inspired him to bring his most recent work to life: 'Cuentos breves para una larga espera', an ideal read for very long journeys. Some of these texts have been included in various literary anthologies of stories and essays from different genres.

Alejandro is Venezuelan by birth and, after living in the United States for almost twenty years, moved to Valencia, Spain, where he began a new stage of active retirement. Above all, he remains active in his literary work, focusing on promoting scientific awareness, environmental conservation, community volunteering, biodiversity protection, and good humor while also embracing the rebellious act of combating his dyslexia through writing.
