Before Professor of Physics and Mathematics Enoch Sánchez (Graduated from the Pedagogical Institute of Caracas), thought to write a historical novel approach especially for young people to the hero of America, our liberator Simón Bolívar, went looking around for some European countries for near cathedrals.
always motivated him like mosques. We have been impressed "... your majesty, its architectural beauty, the great works of art they contain, their windows and air peace and tranquility in these buildings. "
Having seen many impressive structures made by man, of course, only created to satisfy the ego or spiritual belief of a few powerful leaders, he believes, sensibly, on the idea that men to feel small before an omnipotent god, break, try to approach the gods, have fallen into the human weakness of trying to show greatness in the physical, presumably similar to that of their spirits. Embroiled
the subject.
Then the writer adds to the previously outlined, other questions:
"These reflections are due to that, you have gone through many of these monuments to the vanity of rulers, I wondered why we pay homage to the things and individuals, most often, accounting for not the man? I do not think the role of a political or religious leader is to demonstrate its grandeur, in keeping with huge monuments erected in cities or states that direct. A ruler can never be superior to the governed. Nobody can be above who receives his salary. Search for a benefit under a particular, rather than a common benefit, is negligible. The worst that can happen to a people and its ruling is that it falls into the hands of greed. "
Simón Bolívar, the opposite pattern
argues this professor of Physics and Mathematics and inspired writer, who was dedicated to find everywhere a person opposed to the previous model that we have been talking and found it "easily in our Simón Bolívar, who left no large buildings as examples of his genius and glory and wisdom, his only legacy was the release of five nations." Enoch
Sanchez says she only works at go "cities and towns of the five nations freed by the eminent Caracas. Study in detail the appearance of the statues erected in the streets that were built in his honor, trying to understand and explain part of his thought. "
The construction of the "Spirit of Simon" (1) which is the title essay of this sort of novel, where our Liberator talks on the square that bears his name in downtown Caracas, with young people perhaps disoriented lacking a greater knowledge of political events that gave rise to the American republics, began its development when a young Venezuelan, English and Italian descent, talks about his right to dual nationality, the possibility to choose one and leave Venezuela, "if things continue like this."
Bolivar's spirit manifests itself intervenes and stating that "First and foremost native soil, the elements formed with our being, our life is nothing but essence of our poor country, there are witnesses our birth, the creators of our existence and we have taken the soul through education, and the graves of our ancestors lie there and we call security and repose, all remind us of the duty we all excited delicious tender feelings and memories, there was the scene of our innocence, our first loves, our As first impressions and made us ... "
Youths who were there to hear the words of the character (of course the spirit of Bolívar)," showed signs of hilarity or embarrassment and decided to leave. "
American visionary ideas
This striking work of Professor Enoch Sanchez, the American hero to respond to guidance to young people today overlook concerns about the events of the time and country excited and brought back to the daily discussion of the visionary ideas of America.
The novel takes great strength test as Enoch is integrated and is part of the modern historical fiction, in which the past, in the spirit of Simon, he speaks to the youth of today, such as giving answers to their concerns, as when a young, among several college, sitting in Caracas plaza named the American soldier exclaimed:
"In this country you can not live, political parties are destroying everything and never agree. Are increasingly divided. Our compatriots they spend fighting each other because of those groups that seem to separate rather than closer.
Enoch, as part of people who are currently sitting in the Caracas plaza, which he calls the Plaza Simón Trinidad, why bother to identify the name Bolivar with the monetary sign, considering it connected to greed, tries to ask any question young when the voice of the spirit breaks:
"When the parties have no authority, either by lack of power, whether by the triumph of opposites, born disaffection and weakens ...
-all think "says the writer as part of the novel test that was over, but continued
Almost all republics that have inspired mankind has carried in her womb the seed of mortal strife, what has been said that the demerger is often a barometer of freedom and the enjoyment of a liberal government is formed, usually in direct proportion to the excitement of the games and the clash of political views. It is true that the burden of freedom is lightweight, but it is difficult to keep balance even in the most cultured and civilized nations ... "
