Parentini Abel Posse ( born January 7, 1934 in Córdoba) is an Argentine diplomat and writer.

Life and work

By 1959, studied law at the Universidad de Posse Buenos Aires. In the summer of 1959 he went to France to study at the Sorbonne literature. After finishing his studies, he went back to his homeland and settled in Buenos Aires.

From 1965 represented Posse his country as Ambassador in Moscow and moved to Venice in 1973 in a similar position. Between 1985 and 1988, he was his country's ambassador in Jerusalem and later had similar offices in Prague, Lima and Madrid. As Néstor Kirchner put together his cabinet, was Posse for a short time as Foreign Minister in the conversation.

In addition to his political offices and tasks created over the years a beachteswertes oeuvre, which, however, not always liked the literary criticism.
