Chapter 27
The Education of a Revolutionary
Ideas travel across political frontiers and often have major consequences far beyond their
place of origin. This was true of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, which influ-
enced the thinking of educated people in Latin America. One of these was Simón Bolivar.
Read the selection below, which describes Bolívar's youth, and answer the questions that
follow.
In very considerable comfort and ease, Bolívar
was brought up. His father, Đon Juan Vicente de
Bolívar, died when the boy was too young to be
much influenced by him. His mother also died
while he was still a child. His upbringing lay in the
hands of a succession of tutors, far the most
important of whom was a certain Simón.
Rodriguez, who had been born Carreño but
changed his name because of his part in revolu-
tionary activities. He also went under the name of
Robinson-which would seem puzzling until we
discover that Robinson Crusoe was the one book
allowed by Rousseau to the hero of his novel
Emile, and that Rodriguez had swallowed
Rousseau whole.
querors and friars and slave-owners.... He could
expect to own great estates and live like a
lord-but intellectually he had become a French
radical. His favorite author was already Voltaire,
his pattern and hero soon to be Napoleon
Bonaparte. Many years later he was to write to
[his] tutor:
"You formed my heart for liberty, for justice,
for the great, the beautiful... . You cannot imag-
ine how deeply your lessons impressed them-
selves upon my heart."
Twice as a young man Bolívar journeyed to
Europe. On his first visit he fell in love with a girl
from Bilbao and at the age of eighteen married
her. Returning to Venezuela with him, within a few
months his wife was dead of fever. Bolívar vowed
never to marry again, and he did not...."See how
odd things are," he said many years later. "If I had
not become a widower, my life would have been
altogether different. I should never have become
General Bolívar, or the Liberator..... I should
never have made my second visit to Europe."
In Paris, 1803–1804 was the year of Napoleon's
imperial coronation, and Bolívar was both fasci-
The questing intelligence of the boy Bolívar,
like that of the young Emile, was allowed to
search for its own food. Nothing must be forced.
The mind must flower under the influences of
nature. So a great deal of Bolívar's schooling, like
Emile's, took place under open skies. He became
a strong and daring swimmer and a horseman;
short in stature but lean and tough; an enthusiast
for life.
It is no doubt easy enough to encourage in a
twelve-year-old boy a passion for walking and
climbing and swimming and riding, but Carreño-
Rodriguez-Robinson, surely an unusual man, did
more. He communicated his own passion for
ideas and ideals, for the dreams of the era of revo- ocrite. ...The crown laid upon Napoleon's head I
lution. Under the infection of his enthusiasm.
Bolívar learned to read the French philosophers
of the Enlightenment-Voltaire, Montesquieu,
Rousseau, and the rest. (Later he taught himself
to speak fluent French.)
He was a Spanish colonial, the heir of con-
T01ie nated and horrified.... He had worshipped
Napoleon "as the hero of the Republic, the bright
star of glory, the genius of liberty," but now that
Napoleon had made himself Emperor, "from that
day I looked upon him as a tyrant and a hyp-
looked on as a miserable thing. What seemed to
be great was the universal acclaim."
