About the author

Fernando González

138 books66 followers
Fernando González Ochoa was a Colombian writer and existentialist philosopher known as "el filósofo de Otraparte" (The Philosopher from somewhere else). He wrote about sociology, history, art, moral, economy, epistemology and theology in a magisterial and creative way, using different genres of literature. González is considered one of the most original writers of Colombia during the 20th century. His ideas were controversial and had a great influence in the Colombian society at his time and today. The González work was the inspiration of Nadaism, a literary movement founded by one of his disciple, Gonzalo Arango. The Otraparte Villa, his house in Envigado, is today a museum and the headquarters of the cultural foundation to preserve and promote his legacy. The place was declared a National Patrimony of Colombia in 2006.

Definitivamente hay algo de Fernando González que no es compatible conmigo. Me cuesta entenderlo, descifrar sus pretensiones, interpretarlo en su contexto. Tal vez antes de este libro debí haber leído el que escribió sobre Bolívar (y probablemente lo haré). Puede que así hubiera logrado captar su amor por el libertador y su odio por Santander. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo, lamento que su libro sobre Santander se haya quedado en esta primera parte y que nunca haya salido la segunda que promete al final, porque si bien no comparto la visión de Fernando González, estoy seguro que igual me la hubiera leído.

La edición que me leí es la que recientemente sacó la Editorial EAFIT junto con Otraparte. Lamenté que en esta obra no se publicaran algunas notas finales que le den contexto, como sí lo han hecho con los otros textos de González que han sacado en esta nueva colección.
