Historia de Colombia Y Sus Oligarquías [Spanish]

By Antonio Caballero

Este libro de historia, aunque vaya ilustrado con caricaturas, no va en chiste: va en serio, as? empieza este fascinante libro, un agudo recorrido por la historia del pa?s, desde los d?as del Descubrimiento y la Conquista, pasando por los a?os de la Independencia, la Regeneraci?n, la Hegemon?a Conservadora, la Rep?blica Liberal, el Frente Nacional, la ?poca de la Violencia, hasta llegar a nuestros d?as. Antonio Caballero no s?lo tiene el pa?s en la cabeza, tambi?n tiene all? su historia entera, y gracias a esto hace que el relato de los hechos que nos han marcado -hechos tan enmara?ados, tan ins?litos, tan atribulados- sea un interesante y fluido recorrido por todos aquellos acontecimientos y personajes que han moldeado el camino hasta traernos al escenario actual.Con su mirada cr?tica y su caracter?stico humor, Caballero nos pone de cara a los hechos para poder reconocer nuestras man?as, nuestros vicios y nuestras repetidas fallas como sociedad. Y tambi?n las irrefrenables y perpetuas ansias de poder de quienes han dirigido el destino del pa?s. =================================================================================================== A critical, fresh and sharp look at the Colombian national reality. "This history book, even though it does have cartoons, is not a joke: it is serious", this is the beginning of this fascinating book, an acute journey through the history of Colombia, from the days of the discovery and the conquest, through the years of its fight for independence, regeneration, conservative hegemony, the Liberal Republic, the National Front, the era which is just known as The Violence, up to our days. Antonio Caballero not only has the country in his mind, he also has a grip on its entire history, and through this he can make an account of the events that have marked us ─events so tangled, so unusual, so troubled─ it turns out to be an interesting and fluid journey for all those events and characters that have shaped the way of the present we live in. With his critical gaze and characteristic good humor, Caballero puts us face to face with the facts so we can recognize our fixations, our vices and our repeated failures as a society. And also, the irrepressible and perpetual lust for power of those who have had this country's destiny in their hands.
