Since ancient times there have been brotherhoods of builders, who were the only ones who knew the art of construction. In Rome they were called "Caementarius", in France "Macons", in England "Freemasons" and in Germany "Freimaurer". These lodges transmitted their knowledge, like inviolable secrets, between the brothers. But, in addition, they were highly educated men, who contributed to the development of culture at a time when it was on the ground.
They were the only ones qualified to build churches, palaces, castles and bridges, so they enjoyed special privileges, they received very good pay for their work, they had the right to travel through the countries of Europe, to meet in secret sessions and they did not pay taxes. Neither the state nor the Church. We know very little about them, because they left few written testimonies or, perhaps, because the Church destroyed them, for being very liberal in thought. During the Middle Ages it was they who built the magnificent Gothic-style cathedrals, which remain to this day.
In this novel, a freemason of German origin comes to work on the construction of the Burgos cathedral and decides to leave his story for posterity. Thus we know, both the way they faced his work, as well as his personal life and his relationships with the representatives of earthly and divine power.
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.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
