Clever Publication, contributor
Carlos Solari pens a sports-adventure, immersively well-crafted book titled
“El Capitán”
In this day and age, it’s quite a challenge to find inspiration to do more, becoming their own
best versions and see greatness in their everyday lives.
This is exactly what author Carlos Solari wants to share with his readers and more. He
creates a wonderful story of an immigrant family from Ecuador that landed in Queens and
why people cross those borders; leaving home; leaving behind what they know. The story featured
how Sports soccer took part in molding a character that will hopefully inspire each heart that
will finish the book. He crafts Story inspired by True life that challenges readers to see how
often you don't get to know what kind of opportunity you have until you're committed and you can't
go back.
El Capitán, lets readers see a place called "in-between" where the young of other places come to
America (or to any new place) to find that they have one foot in the culture of their parents and the
other in the American culture. And they find that they belong to neither one. Finding their way out of
that "in-between" place is maybe as simple as acceptance and accepting - the act of giving and
taking, learning, and being willing to rethink the walls we build for ourselves.
El Capitán is a fictional story, but it is a slice of real America. It showcased how sports is not only a
physical activity but a way of life. It teaches each reader that life always presents opportunities
for each one to peek through in order to see that there are quite a lot more wonders to
come. Ultimately, the book inspires readers to learn how to see life in a different way at
every turn of the page.

Mr. Solari's narrative is a complex but very readable depiction of the pressures youth often experience growing up and the impact of the choices they make. Carlos uses soccer (futball) as an effective and interesting mechanism. It is difficult to tell an interesting and entertaining story, while addressing serious issues - and he pulls it of marvelously. Highly recommended.
