ENGISH DESCRIPTION On September 11, 1973, Salvador Allende became a myth. The bombing of La Moneda, the beauty and drama of his last words, and his sacrifice in defense of Chile's democratic development, along with the ominous dictatorship that was established in the country, gave his name universal dimensions. Fifty years after those events that shook the world, this biography goes beyond the myth. With the agility of a journalist and the rigor of a historian, Mario Amors meticulously recounts Allende's political trajectory and paints a carefully crafted human portrait. Throughout these pages, we discover his family roots and meet the young man who, guided by an anarchist carpenter, embraced emancipatory ideas. We encounter the socially conscious doctor who participated in the founding and expansion of the Socialist Party, the representative and senator who advocated for progressive legislation, the leader who united the left, and the revolutionary who championed socialism "in democracy, pluralism, and freedom." We also get to know the president who, during those one thousand days, nationalized copper, ended large landholdings, and promoted popular participation and significant democratic transformations. Half a century after the coup d'tat, Allende's values and causes remain relevant and keep his figure alive in Chile and around the world.
