Review. Lugares comunes. El recuerdo en una “nueva” misiva de Manuela Sáenz a Simón Bolívar

Abstract

The number 10 of "Colección Bitácora", edition of the Cultural Direction of the Universidad Industrial de Santander, comes to delight us with a beautiful story brought from the imagination. The author, Professor Judith Nieto López; in the background, Manuela Sáenz; the reason, a letter that springs from his hand for Simón Bolívar. But ... Why this need of the word, today, almost two hundred years later? The answer could not be better: "Sometimes I feel like holding on to a boat that threatens to leave me defenseless on the high seas, but thanks to my word, only with the benefit of my word, today I am clinging, stuck to the only grain of sand that it is not undone by the hand of the wet hand that holds it. "
