Publisher's Summary

Una historia irreverente de los presidentes de Colombia

Es común que los pueblos tumben los monumentos de héroes antiguos. Pero, para Nicolás Pernett, el problema no está en las estatuas, sino en los pedestales, donde se escriben las exageradas alabanzas que elevan a las figuras del pasado por encima del resto de mortales.

En este riguroso y divertido libro de historia de Colombia, el autor nos invita a bajar del pedestal de la memoria a los presidentes de la nación, cuestionando su legado con datos que suelen omitirse en la historia tradicional, desde antes de la Independencia hasta nuestros días. Presidentes sin pedestal es un libro sin leyendas patrióticas ni falsos heroísmos, en donde podemos ver a los gobernantes como seres humanos que tuvieron aciertos y vergüenzas, convicciones y momentos en que olvidaron sus ideales solo por conservar el poder. Es, en resumen, una mirada crítica y mordaz que nos llevará a entender mucho mejor el país en el que vivimos.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
