academic demands of the English professor Dr. Antonio Remiro Brotons forced me to research on Latin American history, knowing that the rich nature , complex and limited to that topic and the subsequent possibility of surprises and aletheia in the path of exploration, I could provide wonderful information. I confirmed my expectations where that path led me to discover such significant characters such as the Dominican native Julia Cobian, timely and decisive figure in a crucial moment in the life of Simón José Antonio de la Santisima Trinidad Bolivar y Palacios, better known as Simon Bolivar. Cobie
When Julia met Bolivar, in Kingston, Jamaica, he was in a deplorable economic situation, led a life almost as a beggar, and spiritually was destroyed, some writers refer to this period of his life in gloomy terms, highlighting suicidal ideas.
On this bleak stage in the life of the Liberator, we know through the letter he had received the Liberator Maxwell Hyslop Scottish trader, a former business partner of his brother, Juan Vicente Bolívar. The Venezuelan founding father wrote as follows: "I have no hard, I sold the little money I brought. No other hope flatters me that inspires me the favor of you. If you are not granted the protection I need to keep my sad life, I am determined not to seek the welfare of anyone, because death is preferable to an existence so little honorable. The generosity of you shall be free, because I can not offer any reward, after lost everything, but my gratitude is eternal. "
While it is true that the Liberator was a little austere in its relationship with the women, according to his biographers, the case of Dominican Creole Cobie Julia has a capital importance for the timely and effective their presence in an evil moment of Bolivar's life. In this regard, the English writer Robert Harvey, in his work: Los Libertadores, reads as follows: "fell into the arms of one another by mutual need, as sometimes happens between two people who have experienced horrors and personal misfortunes. Julia had to Bolivar the added attraction of being rich and enveloped by her attentions, Bolivar recovered spirits. Gave him to write what would become his most famous pronouncement, his "Letter from Jamaica." Julia
Cobie figure raises its time to have seen almost foreknowledge of what that man stood, the great qualities which contained his being, and the enduring legacy of his actions, all accompanied by the steadfast love of freedom that idealistic Bolívar characterized by their rejection of the corruption that can cause the indiscriminate exercise of power, and its integrity by not imprisoning ever been left by the blind megalomania. Julia
Cobie, hold and push the designs that marked the fate of Simon Bolivar, is an example of nature, eternal and immutable, of solidarity as a vital and unifying heritage of the human family in its diversity of practices and values.
