There, he will try to recover the place by legal means, while his friends try to tell him to kill Doña Barbara and be a man.On his way there, Santos Luzardo meets Marisela, the daughter of Doña Barbara and Lorenzo Barquero. Barquero is Santos cousin, who was his idol and main inspiration growing up, but has been corrupted by the devourer of men who turned him into n drinker and took his lands.

Despite being an allegorical criticism of of the Gomez government, the General liked the book and gave it his blessing. In fact, the book gave its author a good reputation among the people of Venezuela, and was a factor in him becoming president in 1948... before being taken out by another dictator nine months later, Marco Perez Jimenez.The book was adapted into a Mexican movie in 1943, with actress Maria Felix playing the titular character, with author Rómulo Gallegos helping with the script. It has also been adapted into many telenovelas in both Venezuela and Mexico, the most well-known being the 1975 version starring Marina Baura, the 2008 version starring Edith González, and the 2016 version (albeit a very loose retelling of the story) starring Aracely Arambula.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The novel briefly became infamous due to Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez calling then President George W. Bush "Mister Danger", like a character from the book, who was an Evil Colonialist.This work provides examples of:
