INFINITE POSSIBILITIES I: 1683 - 1846
Jacques LaVelle was a bear of a man with a pathological hatred of the English. The LaVelles had fled the Huguenot Persecution of 1683 before settling in the American Colonies, where they would raise the bar for mercantile and political corruption, as their nascent industrial-financial behemoth raced across an emerging nation-state taking its first, faltering steps on the world stage.
Quote from the Author:
'Mia nonna mi ha detto:
"Giaccson, se fossi un calciatore, saresti il capitano d'Italia; se fossi un prete, diventeresti il Papa."
Ma sono uno scrittore, quindi sono diventato Di Paglia'
'My grandmother said to me:
"Jackson, if you were a footballer, you would be captain of Italy; if you were a priest, you would be the Pope."
But, I am a writer, so I became Di Paglia.'
