Volumen 2, Libertad y frustración 1810-1828
Carlos Augusto se convierte en un joven guerrillero y llegará a ser General de los ejércitos independentistas, agente diplomático en Europa y luego, junto a su hijo Eduardo, se unirá a Bolívar para luchar sin descanso hasta las batallas finales. Los Carvallo se esfuerzan por preservar sus haciendas, en particular Altagracia, en el marco de una guerra que divide al país en dos bandos aquellos que prefieren la firme mano de la corona y los que aspiran a la independencia. María Antonia y Mariana, la segunda esposa de Carlos Augusto, testigos de las atrocidades de la guerra, se convierten en los pilares de la vida familiar.
La Casa de Altagracia ofrece un retrato fidedigno y valiente de una época convulsa y llena de sorprendentes cambios que marcaron para siempre la historia de Venezuela y Latinoamérica. El rigor y la coherencia que sustentan los hechos e ideas que surcan esta saga no solo demuestran la descomunal investigación que llevo a cabo su autor, sino que atrapan, gracias a la vivacidad de su pluma, aquello que suele quedar fuera de las páginas de los libros de historia las preocupaciones cotidianas, el amor, el dolor y el olvido, los sueños y desencuentros, las pequeñas alegrías y las necesidades y apariencias de una sociedad que se construyó a base de trabajo, rebeldía, sangre y fuego. La trama de esta minuciosa historia, además, conduce al lector por distintos países y lo lleva al encuentro de figuras de la talla de Miranda, Mirabeau, Condorcet, O'Higgins, Napoleón, Godoy, Hamilton, Iturbide, Fermín Toro, Vargas, Páez, Zamora, Guzmán Blanco y, por supuesto, Simón Bolívar.

La Casa de Altagracia II Spanish Edition eBook Carlos Machado Allison
This book is a somewhat good approximation to the Latin-American lifestyles of the late XVIII and early XIX century. I bought it hoping to have a very interesting read spaced in that particular time in history. That's not the case here. You have an interesting framing but, the writer is not a great story teller. Characters are flat; protagonists are good, antagonists are bad. The Carvallo family serves as a voice of reason in a society wishing not to change. The writer choses to keep them as bystanders or with little participation in the most important events happening in that timeframe, in most cases just making vague references to them or simplifying them in order to jump to the next event. In conclusion, lacks depth and character development. You get the feeling that, in the end, nothing changed. I kept reading because I was asking myself ok, so let's see how they will deal with the next major event, only to be disappointed on how the issues were quickly bypassed. Maybe if the writer would have focussed in a smaller timeframe the book would have been more exciting. I would recommend this book to someone wishing to have a quick grasp of Venezuela's early republican history but not dive into it.Product details
