Notă biografică
José Eustasio Rivera nació en el municipio de San Mateo (hoy conocido como Rivera en su honor), Colombia, el 19 de febrero de 1888, y murió el 1 de diciembre de 1928 en Nueva York. Abogado y poeta, es conocido sobre todo por su gran obra La vorágine, publicada en 1924 y considerada una de las novelas más importantes de la historia literaria latinoamericana. A pesar de nacer en la pobreza rural, pudo estudiar y se doctoró en Derecho en 1922. Fue nombrado secretario de la Comisión de Fronteras colombo-venezolana, y en esta capacidad se embarcó en una expedición a la selva Orinoco-Amazónica, donde conoció de primera mano la pobreza de los caucheros y la barbarie que asolaba el territorio. Esta experiencia le inspiró los personajes y acontecimientos de La vorágine, publicado a su regreso a Bogotá en 1924. Tras representar a Colombia en un congreso internacional celebrado en La Habana en 1928, se trasladó a Nueva York con la intención de establecer una editorial, imprimir una nueva edición de El vórtice y conseguir que se tradujera al inglés. Ese mismo invierno, Rivera cayó enfermo y fue ingresado en un hospital al borde del coma. Murió repentinamente, sin que se diagnosticara su enfermedad.

A lawyer and poet, he is best known for his major work La vorágine (The Vortex ), published in 1924 and considered one of the most important novels in Latin American literary history. Despite being born into rural poverty, he was able to study and eventually earned a doctorate in law in 1922. He was appointed secretary of the Colombian-Venezuelan Border Commission, and embarked on an expedition to the Orinoco-Amazon jungle, where he came face-to-face with the poverty of the rubber tappers and the barbarism that plagued the territory. This experience was the inspiration for the characters he would go on to describe in The Vortex, published upon his return to Bogotá in 1924. After representing Colombia at an international congress in Havana in 1928, he moved to New York with the intention of setting up a publishing house, printing a new edition of The Vortex, and getting it translated into English. That same winter, Rivera fell ill and was admitted to hospital on the verge of a coma. He died suddenly, without his illness being diagnosed.
