Manuela Saenz It was the last great love of the Liberator, Don Simon Bolivar. He accompanied him during his last eight years, where the political reality that kept him on edge, and even afflicted him, had been hard enough to end up killing him with tuberculosis. Manuela always helped him. Manuela always loved him. With an intempertive, euphoric, calculating character, although unconscious in many cases, Manuela surrendered to her love and hatred, without limiting her emotion in any way. And he was always faithful to the Liberator, even after his death.
«The four seasons of Manuela»Is a book by Victor von Hagen, which covers, precisely, the four seasons of "La Sáenz", and the incidents that occurred during her romance with the Liberator. Reviewing the most significant moments of the liberating Revolution in Latin America, we enter the world of characters as mythical as those who were our own founders.
A work that I have just read, and that I fully recommend. The author is an anthropologist and ethnologist, and also stood out in works such as «The world of the Mayans«, Or«The empire of the Incas«. But, personally, I think he has uncovered, with this book, the truth of a woman who made history. Being that the works of great women are usually allowed to pass, because of this thing that "the story is told by the victors and the machistas."
Manuela Sáenz was a lot, Manuela was "the Liberator of the Liberator."
