Beschreibung
CHAVEZ HUGO: (1954-2013) President of Venezuela 1999-2013. Signed manuscript diary, seven pages, folio, Fuerte Guaicaipuro, from 11th to 16th September 1974, in Spanish. Chavez writes his own training camp diary, in Charavalle, state of Miranda. Chavez starts his short period diary on Wednesday 11th stating in part `I was appointed squad commandant, with all the responsabilities attached to the post...Today I learned a lot about engineering military campaign...I have decided to start this short diary during the training camp, it will be a week and a new experience in my life.´ Thursday 12th `With the sound of the rain falling on the tent, breathing the smoke of my cigar, I can´t stop remembering intensively a woman. I take my thoughts back to the last time I saw her, last saturday, in Barinas...´. Friday 13th Chavez refers to his role as Che Guevara `I went later to a camp training activity where I had the role of the commandant Ernesto "Che" Guevara. We were having a guerrilla camp, ambushing the new soldiers, and we were singing protest songs. I enjoyed it a lot, I´m hoarse so much I screamed.... I can´t stop thinking in the same woman. What would she be doing now? I shouldn´t act as I do. She might be happy, and I really hope she is, but I feel "something" inside which put me in fire.´ Saturday 14th, interesting thoughts of Chavez who says knowing very well what he wants and refers once more to Ché `..The new soldiers will be scared tonight, swalling tear gas, creeping underneath the barbed wires, feeling the machine gun bullets close over their heads. "They will feel dying tonight"....I feel the shock of the rain against the ground and the cold in my feet, and I think in how is this life. Today is Saturday and I wonder what would the young people, same age as me, be doing somewhere else, those who live free, without sacrifices. For sure they will be having fun, in a disco with their girlfriends, at the cinema or anywhere else. If they would know what we are doing they would say we are crazy. But I am not crazy. I know very well what I want and what I do, and why I make this sacrifice. I remember now a thought of "Ché": "The present is of fight, the future belongs to us". Sunday 15th `...he suffered an ugly wound in his hand, he falled on the barbed wires full of despair due to the tear gas.... I don´t want to keep on writing, I am tired, I am going to think in my family and in the same woman. She might be thinking in me...´ Monday 16th, on his last training camp day Chavez states `I was the whole day shooting the Afag machine gun with war ammunition, when the new soldiers were crossing the area. It was really good shooting. The feeling and sound of the bursts of gunfire excites you and you don´t want to remove your finger from the shutter.´ Further ending with a predicting statement `It was a good week. It was a further step on the present fight which will transform in a victorious future.´ An excellent content diary on which Chavez expresses his thoughts and his future expectations. Boldly written in blue ink, with multiple corrections and side annotations. Small creasing and left border irregularly trimmed as a result of taken them out of the diary book. Also including Herma Marksman´s transcription. VGWith provenance from the private collection of Herma Marksman and with her own transcription. Herma Marksman: (1949- ) Born of a peasant woman and a German immigrant she was in her 30s when she met the future Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who was then married and in his twenties. She became his mistress. They both were students of socialism and idealistic and she helped him in his academic studies. After the failed 1992 coup attempt Chavez left both his first wife and mistress. Marksman will later repudiate Chavez, and described his government as imposing a "fascist dictatorship". She has written several essays and a book titled El Otro Chávez, "The other Chavez", describing her relationship with him.
