"Arturo always tried to understand the roots of our violence, says the historian Juan Carlos Florez. It was also the most serious student of personality Tirofijo. Although he had ideological sympathy, that does not detract from his effort to understand the character" .
To Flórez, another key feature of the work of Alape was the rigor, "brought to Colombia on investigative method that is to rescue the memories of people and placing them in a historical framework in order to preserve the memory of every age. "
The writer left his real name, Carlos Arturo Ruiz, in the 60's, when it was part of Communist Youth and knew the story of James Prías Alape, alias 'Black Charro', farmer co-founder of the FARC.
Alape, an authentic self, was also in the guerrillas until their spirit of intellectual journey took him through the final.
His son Manuel Ruiz, archivist and historian at the National University, notes that left an important file for the contemporary history of Colombia.
"I always had a great admiration for your work, school did several generations of writers and historians, "he says. In the last stage of his life he wrote five novels, which showed that artistic virtues can be found outside the academy. "

Within the work of Arturo Alape there are 23 books, ranging from anthropology and history to the painting. Last year he published his latest novel, The corpse unburied.
On account of its writings and his ideas, received threats and had to live for several years in exile on the island of Cuba and Germany.
yesterday, doing his will, his family and close friends gathered in front of the coffin, which was surrounded by photographs and paintings él.Mientras dear to the audience talking, they heard their favorite boleros. The first ring was the One 19. Today
their friends and family will bid farewell to a gathering and his wife read a text that he chose to say goodbye.
So said Alape
"For me the main, today is my work as a writer and painter, but I remain critical of what happens. "
" Today I do not justify any kind of war: the government or the insurgency. The country must be given a break with a political process to build peace with social characteristics.
"While many claim victory for what we have, I still think that I suffer from a certain historical sadness.
" With my work and my life has been social resistance, because my books have been very controversial and because I was the biographer of "Sureshot", a text widely read and highly paid. Charged me with the exiles. "
" One day I discussed with a group of protesters ... I discovered that there were other truths. That you see someone who has been an artist. "
