Alfonso Pardo

The searches did not yield a specific detailed biography for the Alfonso Pardo who authored "Respirar bajo el agua" (ISBN: 9789562607124) by Editorial Universitaria (Chile). I've found several Alfonso Pardos: an artist, a doctor, a politician, a Bolivian musician/educator, a German-born author of other children's books, and a Chilean writer/editor from the dictatorship era (but no direct link to "Respirar bajo el agua"). There is also an "Adolfo Pardo" who is a Chilean writer, but the name is different.

The critical pieces of information I have are:
- The author's name: Alfonso Pardo.
- The book: "Respirar bajo el agua".
- The ISBN: 9789562607124.
- The publisher: Editorial Universitaria (Chile).
- The genre: Novela, Literatura, Literatura infantil (as per prompt).

Since the book is published by a Chilean editorial and the request is for a biography in "español chileno", the strongest inference is that the author is Chilean. However, specific biographical details like birth/death dates and places for *this particular* Alfonso Pardo are not consistently found or are easily confused with homonyms.

Therefore, I will construct the biography based on the available, confirmed information, focusing on his identity as a Chilean author of children's literature, and using `null` for details not reliably found.

The biography will be written assuming he is the author of the specified book, published by a Chilean house, thereby establishing his Chilean literary presence.

I will formulate a biography that addresses the prompt's requirements (2-3 paragraphs, academic but accessible tone, Chilean Spanish, well-documented) using the confirmed information about the book and its context.```json
