Publisher's Synopsis
Text in Spanish. Of all possible literary histories, none reveals its subject more intimately than the epistolary, as is made evident in this collection of love letters written by Simon Bolevar to Manuelita Saenz. The liberator and founding father of a good portion of Latin America, Bol-var was also a heartened and bold warrior in love-in the arms of his lover Bol-var found his only refuge from the war surrounding him.
