Juan de La Rosa

Posted on by

Long considered a classic in Bolivia, Juan de la Rosa tells the story of a young boy s coming of age during the violent and tumultuous years of Bolivia s struggle for independence Indeed, in this novel, Juan s search for his personal identity functions as an allegory of Bolivia s search for its identity as a nation Set in the early 1800s, this novel is narrated by one of the last surviving Bolivian rebels, octogenarian Juan de la Rosa Juan recreates his childhood in the rebellious town of Cochabamba, and with it a large cast of full bodied, Dickensian characters both heroic and malevolent, from Juan s wise and self sacrificing tutor, Brother Justo, to the ruthless colonial general Goyeneche The larger cultural dislocations brought about by Bolivia s political upheaval are echoed in those experienced by Juan, whose mother s untimely death sets off a chain of unpredictable events that propel him into the fiery crucible of the South American Independence Movement Outraged by Juan s outspokenness against Spanish rule and his awakening political consciousness, his loyalist guardians banish him to the countryside, where he witnesses firsthand the Spaniards violent repression and rebels valiant resistance that crystallize both his personal destiny and that of his country.
