On July 29, 1888, the famous and scathing “Speech at the Politeama” by the “Apostle of Death,” Manuel Gonzáles Prada, was read. In front of President Andrés Avelino Cáceres, the famous phrase was proclaimed: “The old to the grave, the young to work!” The fervor and fighting spirit of the speech still motivate deep reflections on our national reality, prey to corruption and backwardness. Although this speech was not given by Gonzáles Prada, who had a less powerful voice, but by a student, the critical power and his ideas of “refounding” the nation are still valid. That is why today I share with you this reading and analysis of the “Speech at the Politeama.” Timestamps:👇 00:00 - Presentation 00:59 - Speech at the Politeama 15:43 - Analysis of the Speech at the Politeama 18:33 - I invite you to think 💬 Don't forget to leave us your opinions on the topic of the video in the comments. 👉 Watch more videos To Think About here: • Fear: a philosophical reflection ... 👉 And here more videos about Peruvian Literature: • Considering coldly, impartially.... 👉 Don't forget to subscribe for more content, your support helps me a lot: https://www.youtube.com/user/paoloast... #GonzálesPrada #ToThinkAbout
