| Summary: | Fray Servando is a strange character, difficult to define. His life was eventful and he wandered through five European countries for twenty years. He turns up to be a good character in fiction but hardly left any marks in the archives. Sometimes he’s a great liar but he’s not a swindler. His culture is extremely wide. He never tries to become rich. The character’s key is his love for liberty. He knows the philosophers very well, yet he’s an authentic catholic as far as faith and cult are concerned. What he sees in Paris and Rome lead him to ignore completely the Church’s hierarchical aspects. His Historia de la Revolución de Nueva España (London, 1813) was widely read. At the end of his life, he was a very good deputy. |
