El general en su laberinto / The General in His Labyrinth

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

El general Simon Bolivar, El Libertador de los paises de America del Sur, da, por
ultima vez, un nostalgico viaje por el rio Magdalena en el que vuelve a visitar ciudades
en sus orillas donde revive sus triumfos, sus pasiones y las traiciones de toda una
vida. Poseedor de un gran encanto personal, prodigiosamente afortunado en amores,
en la guerra y en la politica, todavia baila con tanto entusiasmo y habilidad que
los que lo ven no pueden creer lo enfermo que esta. Apasionado por los recuerdos
del poder que tuvo, y de su sueno de unidad continental que nunca logro realizar,
Bolivar es un ejemplo conmovedor de cuanto puede ganarse -y perderse- en una vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

General Simon Bolivar, the Liberator of five South American countries, takes a last melancholy journey down the Magdalena River, revisiting cities along its shores, and reliving the triumphs, passions, and betrayals of his life. Infinitely charming, prodigiously successful in love, war and politics, he still dances with such enthusiasm and skill that his witnesses cannot believe he is ill. Aflame with memories of the power that he commanded and the dream of continental unity that eluded him, he is a moving exemplar of how much can be won-and lost-in a life.
