Alexander Mccall Smith Biografía y Hechos
Alexander McCall Smith (Bulawayo, Zimbabue 24 de agosto de 1948), es un profesor universitario y escritor con gran éxito de ventas, que comenzó publicando textos académicos y libros para niños. De hecho, antes de ser conocido como escritor de ficción, fue un respetado experto en derecho médico y bioética y formó parte de comités británicos e internacionales afines. Biografía Aunque nació en Rodesia del Sur (ahora Zimbawe), se formó en Escocia donde fue profesor de Derecho Médico en la Universidad de Edimburgo, para volver posteriormente a Botsuana, donde enseñó derecho en la Universidad de Botsuana. Se instaló en Edimburgo en 1984, junto a su esposa Elizabeth (médico), con quien tuvo dos hijas, Lucy y Emily. También cofundaron The Really Terrible Orchestra, en la que el escritor toca el fagot. Más relevante es su contribución para la creación del primer centro para estudiar ópera de Botsuana: The Number One Ladies Opera House, y autor del libreto de su primera producción, una versión de Macbeth situada en el delta del río Okavango. En 2014, el escritor compró los Cairns of Coll, cadena de islotes deshabitada en las Hébridas, expresando sus intenciones así: «No tengo la intención de hacer absolutamente nada con ellos, sólo asegurarme de que, después de que me haya ido, sean mantenidos en fideicomiso, vírgenes y deshabitados, para la nación. Quiero que se mantengan a perpetuidad como un santuario para la vida silvestre, para aves y focas y todas las otras criaturas que allí habitan».[1] Obras Es autor de libros juveniles, relatos y series de novelas de detectives: La primera agencia de mujeres detectives, protagonizada por Precious Ramotswe, en Gaborone (Botsuana); El club de filosofía de los domingos, con Isabel Dalhousie como protagonista, ambientada en Edimburgo, como también su serie Scotland Street.
