has come to our attention Some media say that Arturo Uslar Pietri died 10 years ago, when in fact a character of stature, moral, intellectual, political and literary Uslar Pietri is unable to die. This is one of those characters that can be said to have gone physically, but never die.
day like today was born in Caracas at number 102 on the street Manduca Romualda to one of the most important twentieth-century Venezuela, the son of Arturo Uslar Pietri Helena Santamaria and Paul. Arturo Uslar Pietri can write endless volumes, of his work countless books, and his public act endless lectures on ethics and the "duty to be. "
His dedication to educating the people, and willingness to serve our country will cost him exile after the coup of October 1945 and imprisonment in 1958 when he was arrested by the forces of Marcos Perez Gimenez.
However it seems that the importance of his legacy, beyond the undeniable quality of his work, is concerned to be heard and understood by ordinary Venezuelans, the common man, that despite its limitations is willing to listen, learn and excel. His voice has become partner of Venezuela for over 60 years through its "Human Values" and the terms "invisible friends" to refer to the viewer, and "sowing the oil" to refer to the creation of wealth by reinvesting in other productive actididades oil revenues, have become part of our cultural imagination, and may even be say that our identity as a people.
is why even if you are over 10 years since his passing away we can say today is celebrating 105 years of the appearance of a hotbed of ideas called Arturo Uslar Pietri.
