"En esta obra literaria mágica. Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II, un profesor universitario enfermo viaja hacia el pasado para revelar un mundo repleto de historias y poesías, con la esperanza de transmitir lecciones de vida inspiradoras. El profesor, con su chaqueta de tweed arrugada, desaliñado aspecto y fuerte acento británico, es el fiel reflejo del Royal Cambridge Scholastic Institute. Sin embargo, con 64 años y un diagnóstico de cáncer del cerebro incurable, decide enfocarse para vivir cada día al máximo y compartir la sabiduría que ha atesorado toda su vida. En sus clases diarias, con una audiencia que va creciendo cada semana, el profesor deslumbra a sus estudiantes con cuentos de su niñez y adolescencia, describiendo cómo creció rodeado de libros antiguos excepcionales y bajo la tutela de tres pintorescos anticuarios que fueron a la vez sus mentores y guías. La historia se narra y revela a través de conversaciones fluidas, poesías de verso libre y cartas. Más de 30 poemas y reflexiones se tejen a través de la obra, invitándonos a pensar profundamente en ellas, ya que tocan temas sobre cómo dejar ir el pasado, cómo encontrar inspiración en la vida, cómo enfrentar una perdida y, finalmente, cómo vivir una vida feliz llena de gozo y alegría. El estilo del escritor es fluido y cautivador, con cambios narrativos constantes de la tercera persona cuando el excéntrico profesor recorre diariamente su camino a clase a la primera persona cuando narra sus anécdotas e historias. El profesor encanta fácilmente a sus estudiantes (y a los lectores)."

The Happiness Triangle: The Equilibrist Series: Vol. 1

"Amid the stately arches of a centuries-old New England campus, a quietly unassuming but brilliant poetry professor delivers the most important lecture of his life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness and determined to leave something lasting behind, he reveals long-guarded secrets gleaned from an extraordinary upbringing among rare books and eccentric mentors in Hay-on-Wye, Wales. From ancient manuscripts to hidden scribbles, his words come alive in stories of resilience and love, hope and loss, culminating in a simple yet profound “Happiness Formula.” Guided by three transformative attitudes—Passion, Tempo, and Awareness—and built upon the pillars of Love, Balance, and Values, his teachings illuminate a path toward genuine, enduring joy. In this poignant fictional account, his son—author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II—pieces together the professor’s final poetry class of 2017, weaving in firsthand testimonies from entranced students and precious archives rescued from near destruction. Their vivid recollections form a testament to life’s fragile beauty and the power of a well-lived day. Enter The Happiness Triangle, the first volume of The Equilibrist Series: a heartfelt tale of a teacher racing against time to bestow a timeless gift. Rich with poetry, philosophical insight, and a dash of romance, this novel reminds us that real magic resides not in lofty ambitions or chance events, but in the everyday moments where we dare to live fully, love boundlessly—and discover happiness for ourselves."

Geniality: The Equilibrist Series: Vol. II

"In Geniality, the second volume of The Equilibrist Series, author Erasmus Cromwell-Smith II takes us deeper into the life and mind of Professor Cromwell-Smith and his beloved Victoria. Spanning dormitory gatherings at Harvard, clandestine mentor sessions, and unexpected crossroads of separation and reunion, this narrative unveils how true genius lies not in rarified intellect but in the authenticity and warmth of our everyday gifts. Weaving together their personal struggles—Victoria’s lifelong doubts and her quest for family and belonging, and Erasmus’s years of solitary living and fear—Geniality shows us how our own “genie in a bottle” awaits discovery. Through affectionate reenactments of heartfelt meetings with an eclectic circle of wise antiquarians, librarians, and unexpected teachers, the story reveals how genius emerges in lives both ordinary and extraordinary: a resourceful cab driver, a thoughtful attorney, or even a mishap-prone illusionist. In a style that is both intimate and philosophical, Cromwell-Smith invites us to question our typical notions of success, perfection, and comparison. He reminds us that we all possess areas of brilliance—born from passion, discipline, and the capacity to uplift others. With vivid anecdotes and quietly profound lessons, Geniality offers a transformative view of human potential, illuminating how we can open ourselves to everyday wonders, unearth our unique genius, and use it for the betterment of ourselves and those we love. Unlock your genius. Embrace your imperfections. Discover the quiet power of geniality."
