Resumo
Simon Bolivar, one of the most important South
American leaders of independence within the areas of Spanish
colonialism in South America, left behind an epistolary of 2815
letters. Our proposal starts off with the display of the narrative
epistolary project and soon encounters one of its highlights in the
course of the reading, which is the general’s own resignation.
The several requests of resignation from his administrative
position, and the justifications that followed them had taken me
to the analysis of what I called the memory of the
indispensability. After investigating this speech in the epistolary,
the relationship between literature and the biography had been
fundamental in improving our understanding of the substance of
this memory of the indispensability in the epistles. This article
intends to compare Simon Bolivar’s letters and Gabriel Garcia
Marquez’s novel, The General in His Labyrinth. The hypothesis is
that the literary text, besides using Bolivar’s epistolary to
construct its character and the romantic scenario, opens
possibilities of explanations concerning the project of memory
arising from the writings in the letters, at the same measure in
which it strengthens the cult of the Liberating General.
