Abstract

Aside from his fame as the author of the best-selling novel Maria, Jorge Isaacs was well-known in his time for his adventurous undertakings. However, for most people nowadays the name of this author only evokes memories of a romantic nineteenth-century writer who forms part of the obligatory cannon in school. This article, not only tracks the author´s family origins and his literary career, but it also allows the reader to become acquainted with the numerous political, scientific and academic activities that Isaacs carried out almost until the end of his life, the liberal and progressive character of his ideas, and the love-hate relationship that because of his ideals he had with his native region and his countrymen
