Official synopsis Publisher
Doña Bárbara es una mujer bella… y de armas tomar. Ruda, caprichosa, decidida, violenta, corrupta, injusta. Con ella hay que andarse con cuidado. La personaje simboliza a una Venezuela de atraso que Rómulo Gallegos siempre criticó con la fineza de su pluma. De allí que grandes escritores como el mexicano Carlos Fuentes o el colombiano Gabriel García Márquez, la situaran entre las grandes novelas latinoamericanas de todos los tiempos. ¿Logra vencer al final esta hacendada cruel?
