It is astonishing that Simón Bolívar, the great Liberator of SOUTH USA, is not better known in the United States. He freed six countries from Spanish rule, traveled more than 75,000 a long way on horseback to take action, and became the greatest number in Latin American record. His life is epic, heroic, right out of Hollywood: he fought battle after struggle in punishing surfaces, forged uncertain coalitions of competing makes and races, lost his beautiful partner immediately after they married and never remarried (although he does have a succession of mistresses, including one who organized the trend and another who saved his life), and he died relatively young, uncertain whether his successes would endure. Pulling on an abundance of main documents, novelist and journalist Marie Arana brilliantly catches early 19th-century SOUTH USA and the explosive tensions that helped revolutionize Bolívar. In 1813 he launched a advertising campaign for the freedom of Colombia and Venezuela, commencing a amazing career that would take him over the rugged surfaces of SOUTH USA, from Amazon jungles to the Andes mountains. From his battlefield victories to his ill-fated matrimony and famous love affairs, Bolívar emerges as a guy of several facets: fearless standard, outstanding strategist, consummate diplomat, ardent abolitionist, gifted copy writer, and flawed politician. A significant work of record, Bolívar colorfully portrays a remarkable life even while it points out the rivalries and complications that bedeviled Bolívar's tragic last days. Additionally it is a stirring declaration of what it means to be always a South American.
