ENGLISH DESCRIPTION  A sweeping narrative worthy of a Hollywood epic  this is the authoritative biography of the warrior-statesman who was the greatest figure in Latin American history.  It is astonishing that Simn Bolvar  the great Liberator of South America  is not better known in the United States. He freed six countries from Spanish rule  traveled more than 75 000 miles on horseback to do so  and became the greatest figure in Latin American history. His life is epic  heroic  straight out of Hollywood: he fought battle after battle in punishing terrain  forged uncertain coalitions of competing forces and races  lost his beautiful wife soon after they married and never remarried (although he did have a succession of mistresses  including one who held up the revolution and another who saved his life)  and he died relatively young  uncertain whether his achievements would endure.  Drawing on a wealth of primary documents  novelist and journalist Marie Arana brilliantly captures early nineteenth-century South America and the explosive tensions that helped revolutionize Bolvar. In 1813 he launched a campaign for the independence of Colombia and Venezuela  commencing a dazzling career that would take him across the rugged terrain of South America  from Amazon jungles to the Andes mountains. From his battlefield victories to his ill-fated marriage and legendary love affairs  Bolvar emerges as a man of many facets: fearless general  brilliant strategist  consummate diplomat  passionate abolitionist  gifted writer  and flawed politician. A major work of history  Bolvar colorfully portrays a dramatic life even as it explains the rivalries and complications that bedeviled Bolvars tragic last days. It is also a stirring declaration of what it means to be a South American.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45921827946549,"sku":"ByrdShop_8417636455","price":333.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9788417636456.jpg?v=1787605245","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bolvar-libertador-de-amrica-bolivar-american-liberator-spanish-edition-9788417636456","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
