La carroza de Bolívar, Simón Bolívar, independence of Colombia, armed left in ColombiaAbstract
This paper analyzes Evelio Rosero’s La carroza de Bolívar (National Novel Award 2014, Ministry of Culture of Colombia) in order to demonstrate that it is a novel that reveals the symmetric failure of two of the most important social revolutions in Colombia: the independence revolution of the early Nineteen Century and the armed Left revolution in the decade of the Sixties.
