If there were a science of biographies, more interesting than analyzing strokes of luck, unforeseen events, and other relevant determinations of fate would be to delve deeper into the study of these very frequent complex circumstances, in which merit is not entirely absent, but clearly not enough to justify the success achieved, and then it is argued that this, there, at the right time and in the specific circumstance, “had to happen.” Others, perhaps with more talent and greater merit, did not enjoy similar results, and then one wonders why. Such circumstances are impressive and sometimes determine an entire life. How can they be explained? On a mundane level, they achieve something incredible and leave no other impression than that the biographee was born to do what he did.
