Miranda, el Precursor de la Independencia de América, juega un papel muy importante en la historia de Europa y el Nuevo continente, aunque su biografía está muy olvidada y oscurecida por la de Bolívar, el libertador que era su alumno y lo entregó a los realistas de Monteverde en Venezuela la noche del 30 al 31 de julio de 1812. De aquí parte la novela escrita por Juan José Armas Marcelo ‘La noche que Bolívar traicionó a Miranda’. La semblanza de Miranda es de vital importancia para entender América y su independencia, y su vida es una parábola de la libertad frente al poder.

In spite of the fact that Miranda was a precursor of the American Independence and a key player in the history of Europe and the New World, his life is often forgotten and eclipsed by Bolivar, the liberator who was his pupil and surrended him to Monteverde’s realists in Venezuela on the night of July 30th in 1812. This is the starting point of the novel written by Juan José Armas Marcelo, ‘La noche que Bolívar traicionó a Miranda’ (The Night Bolivar Betrayed Miranda). This portrait of Miranda is relevant to understand America and its independence, and his life is a parable of freedom against power.
