Alberto Lleras Anthology - Selection by Otto Morales Benítez

This selection of articles and speeches is published on the centenary of the birth of one of the most recognized thinkers of the 20th century in Colombia. Each of the five volumes reveals the multiple faces of his personality: the intellectual, the journalist, the politician, the ruler and the diplomat. And in this exquisite literary journey "you can see that immense talent as a writer that led Gabriel García Márquez to regret that Alberto Lleras had been lost in the world of politics."

Through the careful and varied selection of his immense work, the reader will discover a look at our national history and the issues that occupied the headlines of the world's main newspapers in the last century. Likewise, the reader will understand why intellectuals are fundamental in the construction of a nation that fights, at all costs, to find its identity.
