waoooo what good to read something about Rómulo Gallegos in steemit publications. Although the diminished hour is not my favorite work of Maestro Gallegos because it is too melodramatic I do not deny that it is a literary work that deals with problems of the archetypal family and uses resources such as hatred, revenge, love and detachment to realize a wonderful work of reflection and criticism of social acceptance (or non-acceptance). Very good your essay @nancybriti. Very fluid and nice your post. I hope many readers read @adsactly, and through this publication can discover other immortal works of one of the emblematic Venezuelan writers of the twentieth century. I recommend Doña Bárbara and Pobre negro.
It should also be remembered that, in addition to being a writer, Rómulo Gallegos was president of Venezuela in 1948. He was the first president elected by direct, secret and universal vote with more than 80% of votes for him. In that same period, another Venezuelan writer, Andrés Eloy Blanco, exercised the presidency of the Congress of the Republic and laid the foundations of the 1961 Constitution (Constituent of 1947).

Bravo for that comment, @marcybentancourt!!!! Excellent. My previous comment just rescued that: he was our first popularly elected president. Too bad it only lasted 8 months and a military government came! I think this century owes a tribute to Gallegos and Andrés Eloy Blanco, for example, to remember that at some point our leaders were literate and intelligent. I leave with a smile on my face for your comment. Thank you very much!
