Volar, uno de los anhelos m�s antiguos que se conoce, ha inspirado cientos de creaciones fant�sticas. Desde D�dalo, el arquitecto griego, hasta los exitosos hermanos Wright, la historia vio pasar innumerables aventureros cuyo �nico y peligroso deseo fue acompa�ar el vuelo de las aves. Un imprudente capricho que muchas veces termin� en fracaso.
Cient�ficos, fil�sofos, doctores, pero por sobre todo locos, pueblan esa extensa galer�a de precursores de la aviaci�n. Cada uno hizo su aporte, a veces acertado, a veces notanto. �sta es la historia de uno de ellos. El diario del capit�n Arsenio fue encontrado por casualidad. Data de 1780 y es el manuscrito sobre aviaci�n m�s valioso y m�s antiguo que se conoce despu�s del de Leonardo da Vinci. Sus p�ginas est�n llenas de bocetos, garabatos y anotaciones t�cnicas en las que se desarrollan distintas m�quinas para volar. Son proyectos ingenuos, exactos, desatinados y prodigiosos. Dejamos en manos del lector, con los pies bien en la tierra pero con la cabeza en las nubes, considerar si estos intentos terminaron en �xitos o fracasos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Flying, one of man's oldest known desires, has inspired hundreds of fantastic creations. From Daedalus, the Greek architect, to the successful Wright brothers, history has seen countless adventurers whose sole and dangerous wish was to join the flight of birds--a reckless whim that often ended in failure. Scientists, philosophers, doctors, but above all madmen, fill that vast gallery of aviation pioneers. Each made their contribution, sometimes successful, sometimes not so much. This is the story of one of them. The Diary of Captain Arsenio was discovered by chance. Dating back to 1780, it is the most valuable and oldest manuscript on aviation known after Leonardo da Vinci's. Its pages are full of sketches, doodles, and technical notes detailing different flying machines. They are na�ve, precise, misguided, and prodigious projects. We leave it to the reader--feet firmly on the ground but head in the clouds--to decide whether these attempts ended in success or failure.Pablo Bernasconi nació en Buenos Aires en 1973.
