Pressestimmen

“Finally, Bolivar gets the sweeping biography he deserves. He was the greatest leader in Latin American history, and his tale is filled with lessons about leadership and passion. This book reads like a wonderful novel but is researched like a masterwork of history.” (Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs)“This is a magnificent story. Deeply researched and written with clarity, honesty, and verve, Marie Arana’s book tells the life of one of the greatest heroes and founders in world history. North Americans who know only of George Washington will thrill to read the epic adventures of his South American counterpart. As fantastic as Bolivar’s life appears, ‘it is not,’ as Arana says of Latin America’s bloody past in general, ‘magical realism. It is history. It is true.’” (Gordon S. Wood, author of Empire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789–1815, Alva O. Way University Professor and Professor of History Emeritus at Brown University)“With the eye and ear of a novelist, Marie Arana chants the epic of Bolivar with love, zest, and compelling authority.” (Walter A. McDougall, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Alloy-Ansin Professor of International Relations, University of Pennsylvania)“Simon Bolivar has found the perfect biographer in Marie Arana, a literary journalist, brilliant novelist of South America, and wise historian as well. Her portrait of Bolivar is human and moving; she has written a powerful and epic life and times." (Evan Thomas, author of Ike's Bluff: President Eisenhower's Secret Struggle to Save the World)“Most North American historians have mentioned [Bolivar] only in passing, usually making 'the George Washington of Latin America' reference. . . . That conception obviously needed correction in the form of a comprehensive biography that makes Bolivar’s life accessible to a large readership in the United States. Bolivar is unquestionably that book. . . . Bolivar is magisterial in scope, written with flair and an almost cinematic sense of history happening. . . . A monumental achievement destined to win some major literary prizes.” (Joseph J. Ellis Washington Post Book World)"Wonderful. . . . In Arana's energetic and highly readable telling, Bolívar comes alive as having willed himself an epic life. . . . She brings great verve and literary flair to her biography of Bolívar." (Hector Tobar The Los Angeles Times)"The 'George Washington of South America,' who freed various countries from Spanish colonial rule, emerges in this account as a complex hero. . . . Arana offers a clear-eyed assessment of the ideals, alliances, and human frailtiesthat drove Bolívar’s choices and shaped the Americas." (The New Yorker)“Inspired. . . . Arana ably captures the brash brilliance of this revered and vilified leader.” (Kirkus Reviews)“Arana is an indefatigable researcher, a perceptive historian, and a luminous writer, as shown in her defining, exhilarating biography of the great South American liberator Simón Bolívar. . . . Her understanding of the man behind the fame—and behind the hostility that enveloped him in his later years—brings this biography to the heights of the art and craft of life-writing.” (Booklist (starred review, Top 10 Biographies of the Year))“[Arana's] vivid portrait shows us a charismatic man of high ideals, fiery oratory, unflagging energy and resolve, bold strategies, and a romantic aura. . . . Arana’s dramatic narrative is appropriately grand and enthralling . . . and it makes Bolívar an apt embodiment of the ambitions and disappointments of the revolutionary age.” (Publishers Weekly)

If you like Biographies of great leaders you must read this spectacular book. Thank you Marie Arana for this monster of a book.

This is one of the best biographies that I've read in my life, if not the very best. I am an admitted South America fanatic, but my knowledge about its history was limited to study of the Inca and Brazil before reading this book. Marie Arana (no tilde on the n?) is an amazingly articulate writer in English, although I'm not sure that English is even her first language! I was gripped by her account of Bolivar's early years and development into a revered hero; his determination to liberate the Andean Region from Spain; his success in building and mobilizing troops back and forth across the Andes and perilous regions in between; his personal picadillo's; Bolivar's post-liberation failures to identify effective leaders and governmental structures that could unify populations; and finally, Bolivar's death in isolation. I also enjoyed the Epilogue that explained how society's perception of Bolivar evolved, and how Hugo Chavez made a travesty of Bolivar in Venezuela. Finally, I even enjoyed Arana's fascinating Acknowledgment. I learned so much and would love to read more from this gifted author! Maybe a book about Ernesto "Che" Guevarra?

As a trained historian, I found this book to be informative, well written, engaging and easily digestible.For anyone looking to understand a lot of South American history and some of the underlying factors that continue to shape the region today, this is a good place to start. Having traveled South America extensively and studied some of the more contemporary history, I would say this significantly added to my knowledge and understanding of Latin America.I took one star off because the book was biased towards Bolivar pretty strongly, and the citation of sources was cumbersome and less than you would expect for a good biography. There are no footnotes, only endnotes which are not linked to individual passages in the text but instead to chapters. I have never seen it done like that and it irked me.Still I would recommend the book. It will shed light on so many things.

This was a fantastic read and in depth view of Simon Bolívar's life and challenges he faced! I've been to Central and South America and wish I would've found this book 5 years ago. Marie has a great style of writing and keeps you engaged from the first chapter. There were no glossing over facts in this book and I appreciate that to the fullest. Due to the fact of so much detail in this book there were many times that I had to read 1 chapter and take a break and come back to the book at other times. The English audience would do well to read this as Marie does a great job in tying in differences between US issues and American (Bolivar's America that is) issues and how dissimilar they really were. A great find and will be recommending this to family and friends.

+For anyone interested in the great Age of Enlightment that was the end of the 18th century--a time that rocked and changed nations across the Americas as they separated from their Mother Countries and the monumental quake that shook the monarchies of Europe, should be fascinated by this eye-opening book. Most people in the north of the Americas were too busy getting their fledgling countries going to notice much what was going on to the south. However, John Quincy Adams and James Monroe here in the U.S. were aware that what was happening in Venezuela and the northern countries of South America was an almost exact parallel to what was going on here in the new United States. From that point on, the paths diverged dramatically. But in the end, the new North American government, busy with its own dealings with Spain, paid no more than superficial attention to the bloody struggles of its southern neighbors.Marie Arana has done a masterful job of bringing to life the leader of that revolution to the south, a man characterized as 'bigger than life' and by Jose Marti, one noted Hispanic writer in the typical flowery rhetoric of the times as, "...of Bolivar you can only speak from mountaintops,or amid thunder and lightning, or with a fistful of freedom in one hand and the corpse of tyranny at your feet." Ms. Arana brings Simon Bolivar down to earth in a highly readable, impressively researched manner. In the process she throws important light on the sometimes puzzling and little understood attitudes and realities of race and social class that still plague the southern continent.For anyone who wishes to understand "Latinos" or "Hispanics" better (reference the growing importance they have right here in the USA), this really is must reading.And, incidentally, the kindle version of this book reads beautifully.

Marie Arana's Bolivar was captivating from beginning to end. As a Mexican-American educator, it was an eye-opening experience for me to read about a man who accomplished so much in his short life. A case has been made for Latinx in the U.S. and their lack of heroes. Here is one we can look to for inspiration!Like all heroes, he comes with many major flaws but we cannot deny his grit, determination, and unyielding will to cast out the Spanish throne from Latin America and create a unified country that would rival any super power at the time. His story also foreshadows the Latin America we know today. You will not be disappointed with Bolivar: American Liberator!
