About the Book

O romance de Francisco Angulo, "Destino Havana", mergulha-nos no emocionante cotidiano de Alfonso Nuñez Balboa, antigo comandante da Iberia com mais de 25.000 horas de voo. Através desta narrativa em primeira pessoa, o autor transporta-nos na Espanha dos anos 1930 a 1960 e faz-nos reviver a era de ouro da aviação comercial através do olhar maravilhado do seu herói.

Nuñez é originário de uma pequena aldeia na província de Teruel, em Aragão. Desde muito jovem, fica fascinado pelos aviões que sobrevoam a sua escola. Esta vocação precoce leva-o a alistar-se numa academia militar aos 18 anos para se tornar piloto. Os seus primeiros anos no exército espanhol não serão fáceis. Nuñez terá de demonstrar perseverança e abnegação para subir na hierarquia e tornar-se radionavegador.

As suas primeiras missões mergulhá-lo-ão em situações rocambolescas, começando por um voo agitado no esquadrão apelidado de "Grupo 14", composto por uma tripulação, no mínimo, invulgar. Posteriormente, Nuñez participará na Guerra de Ifni e na Crise dos Mísseis de Cuba, dois conflitos majores do século XX.

Progressivamente, Nuñez passará do mundo militar para a aviação comercial, ingressando na companhia Iberia. Mais uma vez, o seu talento como piloto será posto à prova. Terá de demonstrar sangue frio e prontidão para evitar o pior. As suas missões levar-lhe-ão aos quatro cantos do globo, da América do Sul à Europa, passando pelo Canadá. Cada voo é uma oportunidade para Nuñez acumular experiência e saciar a sua paixão pelo céu.

Com humildade e precisão, Angulo traça o retrato de um homem comum que conseguiu realizar os seus sonhos. Por trás da personagem fabulosa do piloto, o autor retrata-nos um homem humilde, oriundo de um meio modesto, profundamente ligado às suas origens. As questões existenciais de Nuñez sobre o sentido da vida ecoam em cada um de nós.

Pela diversidade das situações com as quais o herói é confrontado, qualquer um pode identificar-se com um ou outro aspeto da sua personalidade. Nuñez demonstra um otimismo à prova de bala perante a adversidade. O seu gosto pelo risco e espírito de aventura fazem eco à alma descobridora que habita em nós. Por fim, o apego visceral de Nuñez aos seus entes queridos desperta a nossa veia sentimental.

Com este romance cativante e original, Francisco Angulo consegue o desafio de nos fazer reviver a era de ouro da aviação através de uma personagem comovente. Impulsionado por uma pena ágil e uma documentação minuciosa, o autor oferece-nos uma obra que saberá seduzir um vasto público, desde apaixonados pela aviação a amantes de grandes sagas familiares.
