Eddie was born in Puerto Rico on 13 March 1950. At an early age, he showed signs of great interest in crafts and writing. Although he had no problem developing his talents as a stained-glass artist, a chemical imbalance in his brain stunted his growth as a writer. At age 16, he wrote his last poems and quit writing. At the age of 28, he began to flourish as a glass artist, and after 46 years of hard work, he is recognized as Puerto Rico s foremost stained-glass and mosaic artist. In 2002, his brain s chemical imbalance was diagnosed, and medication was used to correct it (serotonin inhibitor), and since then he has regained his talking and writing skills and is now a prolific writer/artist, having published two poetry books, three art books, and two novels.

Klappentext

Two children one, Daniel, burdened with paralyzing emotional wounds, and the other, Aaron Antonio, bound by physical limitations forge an unbreakable bond during their stay at the Georgetti Mansion, the most luxurious edifice in 1923 Puerto Rico. Designed by the Czechoslovakian architect Antonin Nechodoma and guided by the visionary stained-glass artist Levana Fleischmann, they embark on an ambitious quest to create the most magnificent house ever built in Puerto Rico. Fleischmann s esoteric knowledge of the world we cannot see and Nechodoma s mastery of medieval architecture infuse the structure with the healing power of light and art laying the foundation for future constructions across the island. Within these walls, Daniel and Aaron Antonio begin their liberating process toward physical and emotional liberation. Their salvation lies in the Vitruvian Pool, a mystical artifact crafted by Aaron Antonio s grandfather before the Nazi occupation of Germany.
