El relato refleja el malogrado intento de Simón Bolívar de liberar la entonces Capitanía General de Venezuela de manos del poder español, aunque la figura del libertador no se hace presente más que de manera referencial

El relato refleja el malogrado intento de Simón Bolívar de liberar la entonces Capitanía General de Venezuela de manos del poder español, aunque la figura del libertador no se hace presente más que de manera referencial. El estilo en esta obra señalaba matices distintos a los de la prosa galleguiana. Se imponía en la obra de Uslar Pietri una prosa fuerte y cortada de vanguardia.
