Details: El general Sim'on Bol'ivar, "El Libertador" de los pa'ises de Am'erica del Sur, da, por 'ultima vez, un nost'algico viaje por el r'io 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 pol'itica, todav'ia baila con tanto entusiasmo y habilidad que los que lo ven no pueden creer lo enfermo que est'a. Apasionado por los recuerdos del poder que tuvo, y de su sue~no de unidad continental que nunca logr'o realizar, Bol'ivar es un ejemplo conmovedor de cu'anto 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.
