Gabriel García Márquez Books

This magical realist novel tells the history of the Buendias family, the founders of Macondo, a remote South American settlement. In the world of the novel there is a Spanish galleon beached in the jungle, a flying carpet, and an iguana in a woman's womb. 'His masterpiece and one of the undeniable classics of the century.' The Times 'One of a glittering constellation of contemporary Latin American novelists ... He is the author of a classic on the grandest scale ... the most obvious comparison is with Homer's Odyssey ... Garcia Marquez is a spellbinder' Spectator

A new collection of journalism from one of the great titans of 20th century literature "I don't want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize but rather for my journalism," Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career--years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla . . . his longer, more fictionlike reportage from Paris and Rome . . . his monthly columns for Spain's El País. And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to his fiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writer working at the profession he believed to be "the best in the world." 'García Márquez always thought of himself as a journalist first and foremost and this brilliant collection goes a long way towards justifying that belief.' Salman Rushdie

The collected stories is a selection of this great storyteller's short works which include tales of love and life, of beauty lost and the magic of women. The stories demonstrate his gradual growth into the magical realism for which he is best known

"A conjurer of literary magic" --The New York Times Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez was one of the most widely translated and beloved writers of his time, and yet, as this revelatory book shows, there were many sides of him that English-language readers do not know. This volume includes the first-ever English translation of García Márquez's final conversation with Spanish journalist Xavi Ayén, along with other rare and never-before-translated interviews from throughout his long career. García Márquez discusses his extraordinarily varied literary work and his often controversial politics, and what emerges is a richer, deeper, more intimate portrait of this great writer than we've encountered before.

"Garcí­a Márquez has extraordinary strength and firmness of imagination and writes with the calmness of a man who knows exactly what wonders he can perform."--Alfred Kazin, New York Times Book ReviewRenowned as a master of magical realism, Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez has long delighted readers around the world with his exquisitely crafted prose. Brimming with unforgettable characters and set in exotic locales, his fiction transports readers to a world that is at once fanciful, haunting, and real. Leaf Storm, Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez's first novella, introduces the mythical village of Macondo, a desolate town beset by torrents of rain, where a man must fulfill a promise made years earlier. No One Writes to the Colonel is a novella of life in a decaying tropical town in Colombia with an unforgettable central character. Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a dark and profound story of three people joined together in a fatal act of violence.Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez was born in Colombia in 1927. His many books include the novels One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.

Erendira accidentally burns down her grandmother's house and is forced to pay her back with the money she earns from prostitution. However, it seems Erendira has a more appropriate way of repaying her. The book's main themes are death, power, love and duty.

One of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's most intricate and ambitious works, The Autumn of the Patriarch is a brilliant tale of a Caribbean tyrant and the corruption of power. From charity to deceit, benevolence to violence, fear of God to extreme cruelty, the dictator of The Autumn of the Patriarch embodies the best but also the worst of human nature. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the renowned master of magical realism, vividly portrays the dying tyrant caught in the prison of his own dictatorship. Employing an innovative, dreamlike style, and overflowing with symbolic descriptions, the novel transports the reader to a world that is at once fanciful and vividly real.

A disturbing account of how Pablo Escobar - boss of the Medellin cocaine cartel - undermined all Colombia's civil institutions by murder or bribery. It is also a moving exploration of the fate of Escobar's kidnapped hostages, relatives of politicians, who were mostly middle-aged or elderly women.

In 1955, Garcia Marquez was working for El Espectador, a newspaper in Bogota, when in February of that year eight crew members of the Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were washed overboard and disappeared. Ten days later one of them turned up, barely alive, on a deserted beach in northern Colombia. This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez's account of that sailor's ordeal. Translated by Randolf Hogan.

"En la tercera hornacina del altar mayor, del lado del Evangelio, allí estaba la noticia. La lápida saltó en pedazos al primer golpe de la piocha, y una cabellera viva de un color de cobre intenso se derramó fuera de la cripta. El maestro de obra quiso sacarla completa con la ayuda de sus obreros, y cuanto más tiraban de ella más larga y abundante parecía, hasta que salieron las últimas hebras todavía prendidas a un cráneo de niña. En la hornacina no quedó nada más que unos huesecillos menudos y dispersos, y en la lápida de cantería carcomida por el salitre sólo era legible un nombre sin apellidos: Sierva María de Todos los Ángeles. Extendida en el suelo, la cabellera espléndida medía veintidós metros con once centímetros".

“A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” is a short story that begins with a couple, Pelayo and Elisenda, finding a very old man in their courtyard during a stormy afternoon. They watch in astonishment the enormous wings attached to the body of the old man as he struggles to get up from the mud. Their neighbour comes over and lets them know that the old man is an angel. Pelayo locks the angel in a chicken coop overnight. Tired of having too many visitors, the couple decides to charge an entrance fee to see the angel. The story progresses and describes the community's reduction of the old man to a freak and its brief fascination with him, only to be replaced with a new spectacle.

This small volume contains four compelling stories of displacement, love and death taken from Strange Pilgrims (1993): 'Bon Voyage, Mr President', 'Sleeping Beauty and the Airplane', 'I Only Came to Use the Phone' and 'Light Is Like Water'.

Every book tells a story . . . And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. Admired by millions across the world, Gabriel Garcia Marquez first came to prominence as an imaginative writer of genius with his fantastical novel One Hundred Years of Solitude , published by Penguin in 1972. Alternately enchanting and disconcerting, the four tales in this volume describe the frailty of humanity and the bewitching force of the imagination, in a world where the lines between reality and dream are hopelessly blurred.

Friday's are different. Every other day of the week, the Colonel and his ailing wife fight a constant battle against poverty and monotony, scraping together the dregs of their savings for the food and medicine that keeps them alive. But on Fridays the postman comes - and that sets a fleeting wave of hope rushing through the Colonel's ageing heart. For fifteen years he's watched the mail launch come into harbour, hoping he'll be handed an envelope containing the army pension promised to him all those years ago. Whilst he waits for the cheque, his hopes are pinned on his prize bird and the upcoming cockfighting season. But until then the bird - like the Colonel and his wife - must somehow be fed...

'César Montero was dreaming about elephants. He'd seen them at the movies on Sunday . . . ' Only moments later, César is led away by police as they clear the crowds away from the man he has just killed. But César is not the only man to be riled by the rumours being spread in his Colombian hometown - under the cover of darkness, someone creeps through the streets sticking malicious posters to walls and doors. Each night the respectable townsfolk retire to their beds fearful that they will be the subject of the following morning's lampoons. As paranoia seeps through the town and the delicate veil of tranquility begins to slip, can the perpetrator be uncovered before accusation and violence leave the inhabitants' sanity in tatters?

A New York Times Notable Book On the eve of his ninetieth birthday a bachelor decides to give himself a wild night of love with a virgin. As is his habit–he has purchased hundreds of women–he asks a madam for her assistance. The fourteen-year-old girl who is procured for him is enchanting, but exhausted as she is from caring for siblings and her job sewing buttons, she can do little but sleep. Yet with this sleeping beauty at his side, it is he who awakens to a romance he has never known. Tender, knowing, and slyly comic, Memories of My Melancholy Whores is an exquisite addition to the master’s work.

THE EXTRAORDINARY LOST NOVEL FROM THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA AND ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDESitting alone, overlooking the still and blue lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach surveys the men of the hotel bar. She is happily married and has no reason to escape the world she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.Amid sultry days and tropical downpours, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire, and the fear that sits quietly at her heart.Constantly surprising and wonderfully sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, and the mysteries of love, from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.'No writer since Dickens was so widely read, and so deeply loved, as Gabriel Garcia Marquez' Salman Rushdie'One of the greatest visionary writers - and one of my favourites from the time I was young' Barack Obama'Few writers can be said to have written books that have changed the whole course of literature. Gabriel Garcia Marquez did just that' Guardian

Nobel Prize winning author of Òne hundred years of solitude' recreates the final voyage of the greatest political figure in modern South American history - Simon Bolivar

As the citizens of an unnamed Caribbean nation creep through dusty corridors in search of their tyrannical leader, they cannot comprehend that the frail and withered man lying dead on the floor can be the self-styled General of the Universe.

'The year I turned ninety, I wanted to give myself the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin' Memories of My Melancholy Whores is a sensual and hypnotic journey through the mind of a man discovering love for the first time after a lifetime filled with hundreds of different women. The nights spent sleeping side-by-side with his 'Delgadina' fill his soul with an unexpected longing. He feels her presence when she is not there. The now passionate meditations of his newspaper columns are bound up in love and received by a rapturous, growing readership, and in his imagination - as real for him as memories - he sees them together as they might have been. This is a story of one man's reassessment of his life as he awakens to the transformative power of love.

This is a collection of stories by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, most of which are fables. It includes Leaf Storm, a tale about a week-long South American rainstorm, and the story of a tarry angel who crash-lands in a village and is kept in a hencoop.

"... lo que hay entre La hojarasca y Cien años de soledad son unos quince años de fastidiarse mucho, de vivir mucho y de estar pendiente de esto todos los días, tratando de ver cómo eran las cosas." - Gabriel García MárquezGabriel García Márquez sostuvo en diversas oportunidades que para escribir un libro primero había que aprender a escribirlo y, solo entonces, enfrentarse a la página en blanco. A él le costó casi veinte años "vivir" en Macondo para aprender a escribir ese portento de la literatura de todos los tiempos que es Cien años de soledad. Esta antología, realizada con el ánimo de rastrear la andadura del premio Nobel, compila todos los textos publicados en los que ese universo mítico fue tomando forma: desde sus "Apuntes para una novela" de 1950 y sus primeros relatos hasta La mala hora en 1966, en lo que supone la efervescente antesala a la creación de Cien años de soledad. Bienvenido, lector, a este Camino a Macondo".CONTENIDO- Prólogo de Alma Guillermoprieto- Nota editorial de Conrado Zuluaga- Primeros textos- La hojarasca- El coronel no tiene quien le escriba- Los funerales de la Mamá Grande- La mala hora

Bundeling van de verhalen uit de jaren 1947-1982 van de Colombiaanse Nobelprijswinnaar (1927). Hierin zijn in hun geheel opgenomen de eerder afzonderlijk verschenen bundels 'Ogen van een blauwe hond', 'De uitvaart van Mama Grande', 'De ongelooflijke maar droevige geschiedenis van de onschuldige Erendira en haar harteloze grootmoeder' en 'Twaalf zwerfverhalen'.

Einmalige limitierte Sonderausgabe für 25 Euro. Die vier bekanntesten Romane von Gabriel García Márquez in einer hochwertigen Buchkassette: "Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit", das berühmteste Buch von Gabriel García Márquez, gehört zu den großen Romanen der Weltliteratur und ist in Millionen von Exemplaren verbreitet. "Die Liebe in den Zeiten der Cholera" ist ein Roman voller Lebenskraft und Poesie. Dass nichts auf der Welt schwieriger ist als die Liebe, erleben und erleiden Fermina Daza und ihr Mann in ihrer über fünfzigjährigen Ehe. Schmerzlich erfährt das auch Florentino Ariza, Fermina Dazas ewiger Verehrer, der über fünfzig Jahre auf sie gewartet hat. "Von der Liebe und anderen Dämonen", ein zauberhafter Roman, in einer kunstvollen und bildreichen Sprache geschrieben, über irdische, himmlische und geistige Leidenschaften. In "Chronik eines angekündigten Todes" feiert ein Dorf an der kolumbianischen Karibikküste ein rauschendes Hochzeitsfest, aber noch in der Hochzeitsnacht wird die Braut in ihr Elternhaus zurück geschickt. Sie war nicht mehr unberührt. Der mutmaßliche Täter muss sterben. Mit großer Spannung beschreibt García Márquez die Stunden zwischen Ankündigung und Vollzug dieses Todes.

Die großen Romane von Gabriel García Márquez wie »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit« sind nur die Spitze eines Eisberges, die verborgene Masse ist sein fast unbekanntes journalistisches Werk: Tausende von Reportagen, Glossen, Berichten und Erzählungen, in denen er Aufstände schildert, ins Kino geht, Hemingway begegnet oder der Frau, die ganz allein das beste Wörterbuch Spaniens verfasste. Seine leidenschaftlichste Reportage ist dem Sturz und Fall seines Freundes Allende gewidmet. »Der Leser muss das Gefühl haben, selbst am Schauplatz der Ereignisse zu sein.«Seine Maxime galt für alles, was er schrieb: ein Liebhaber der Welt und ihr treuester Zeuge. Mit einem Nachwort von Dagmar Ploetz »García Márquez hat nicht an eine andere Welt geglaubt, in seinen Augen war diese schon so reich und rätselhaft, so voll Witz, Schrecken und Freude.« Daniel Kehlmann

Acest volum de memorii vine să consfinţească faptul că aproape tot ce se ştie despre Gabriel García Márquez provine din interviurile şi din opera sa şi să aducă mărturii emoţionante despre "viaţa secretă" a autorului căci, aşa cum acesta se destăinuie, "omul are trei vieţi: viaţa publică, viaţa particulară şi viaţa secretă, cea pe care o povestim cel mai adesea noi, scriitorii; toată viaţa mea este încifrată în romanele mele". Iar cartea de faţă oferă cu generozitate cifrul prin care cititorului îi este îngăduit să pătrundă în universul fascinant al creaţiei marqueziene, ea putând să poarte cu îndreptăţire subtitlul Cum am devenit scriitor, fiindcă în cele şase sute de pagini ale sale sunt incrustaţi pentru eternitate anii copilăriei în casa bunicilor dinspre mamă, adolescenţa cu anii de liceu, tinereţea cu studiile universitare, întrerupte, atunci când vocaţia scrisului, manifestată de timpuriu, începe să-i orienteze major existenţa. Nu sunt uitaţi mai cu seamă anii de căutări febrile, avatarurile vieţii de ziarist sărac, care crede însă orbeşte în steaua sa, precum şi plăsmuirea primelor povestiri şi a celui dintâi roman, până la împlinirea vârstei de douăzeci şi şapte de ani, când pleacă în Europa în calitate de corespondent al ziarului El Espectador.

История любви, побеждающей все – время и пространство, жизненные невзгоды и даже несовершенство человеческой души. Смуглая красавица Фермина отвергла юношескую любовь друга детства Флорентино Ариса и предпочла стать супругой доктора Хувеналя Урбино, - ученого, мечтающего избавить испанские колонии от их смертоносного бича - чумы. Но Флорентино не теряет надежды. Он ждет – ждет и любит. И неистовая сила его любви лишь крепнет с годами. Такая любовь достойна восхищения. О ней слагают песни и легенды. Страсть – как смысл жизни. Верность – как суть самого бытия…

Verhaal van een schipbreukeling is het grootste journalistieke succes van Gabriel García Márquez, geschreven in 1955 voor het liberale dagblad El Espectador. In 1970 werd het als boek uitgegeven in Barcelona. García Márquez vertelde aan Time-verslaggeefster Rita Guibert dat elk detail in het verslag authentiek is. Hij interviewde een jonge man van de Colombiaanse marine, die zijn verhaal tot in de kleinste details deelde, zonder zich bewust te zijn van het belang ervan. Door psychoanalyse toe te passen, hielp García Márquez hem zich belangrijke herinneringen te herinneren, zoals het zien van een meeuw boven zijn vlot. Dit leidde tot een reconstructie van zijn avontuur. De publicatie sloeg in als een bom; aanvankelijk was het de bedoeling om het verhaal in vijf of zes afleveringen te publiceren, maar na drie afleveringen was er zoveel enthousiasme van de lezers dat de oplage van de krant enorm steeg. De uitgever vroeg García Márquez om het verhaal uit te breiden tot minstens twintig afleveringen, wat hem ertoe aanzette om elk detail verder te verrijken.

Per cinquantun anni, nove mesi e quattro giorni Fiorentino Ariza ha perseverato nel suo amore per Fermina Daza, la più bella ragazza dei Caraibi, senza mai vacillare davanti a nulla, resistendo alle minacce del padre di lei e senza perdere le speranze neppure di fronte al matrimonio d'amore di Fermina con il dottor Urbino. Un eterno incrollabile sentimento che Fiorentino continua a nutrire contro ogni possibilità fino all'inattesa, quasi incredibile, felice conclusione. Una storia d'amore e di speranza con la quale, per una volta, Gabriel García Márquez abbandona la sua abituale inquietudine e il suo continuo impegno di denuncia sociale per raccontare un'epopea di passione e di ottimismo. Un romanzo atipico da cui emergono il gusto intenso per una narrazione corposa e fiabesca, le colorate descrizioni dell'assolato Caribe e della sua gente. Un affresco nel quale, non senza ironia, si dipana mezzo secolo di storia, di vita, di mode e abitudini, aggiungendo una nuova folla di protagonisti a una tra le più straordinarie gallerie di personaggi della letteratura contemporanea.

В романе "Осень патриарха" Габриэль Гарсиа Маркес рассматривает не столько конкретную судьбу, сколько воплощенную в ней идею власти. Нельзя сказать, что тиран по-настоящему живет, но и умереть он не может. Его имя уже окружено легендами, ему же с первых дней ищут замену.

Gabriel García Márquez zeigt sich nicht nur als großer Romancier, sondern auch als bedeutender Journalist. Seine brillanten und fundiert recherchierten Arbeiten bieten eine bewegende Chronik wichtiger politischer und gesellschaftlicher Ereignisse der letzten 25 Jahre.

“¿Qué hago yo encaramado en esta percha de honor, yo que siempre he considerado los discursos como el más terrorífico de los compromisos humanos?” —Gabriel García Márquez. Los textos reunidos en esta colección fueron escritos por el autor para ser leídos en público a lo largo de su vida, desde su primer discurso a los diecisiete años, hasta el que pronunció ante las Academias de la Lengua y los reyes de España al cumplir ochenta. Estos discursos del premio Nobel ofrecen una comprensión más profunda de su vida y revelan sus obsesiones como escritor y ciudadano: su fervor por la literatura, su pasión por el periodismo, su inquietud por el desastre ecológico, su propuesta de simplificar la gramática, los problemas de su tierra colombiana y el recuerdo de amigos escritores como Julio Cortázar y Álvaro Mutis. El lector tiene en sus manos un complemento indispensable a una obra narrativa que seguirá resonando en el futuro.

Gabo. La gente sólo muere para siempre en la vida real. En la literatura uno puede hacer lo que se le dé la gana. Si para eso se inventó, para uno poder desahogar todos sus deseos. Doc. Es verdad... Pero, Gabo, es un guión... Gabo. Ésos son los límites racionalistas que me aterrorizan, porque entonces no podemos hacer nada. ¡Ni siquiera lo de los sueños!

Málokdo ví, že se v 50. letech 20. století objevil García Márquez – tehdy nepříliš známý mladý novinář – v komunistickém Československu… Byl původně pozván do Sovětského svazu na Světový festival mládeže, ale podařilo se mu tuhle „cestu na Východ“ rozšířit o návštěvu východního Německa, Polska, Maďarska a ČSSR. Tyto cestopisné eseje, v nichž Márquez vystupuje jako velice přesný a originální pozorovatel, vycházejí česky poprvé.

Bár Gabriel García Márquezt a legtöbben prózaíróként, Macondo, Aureliano Buendía ezredes vagy épp Santiago Nasar megalkotójaként ismerik, első igazi szerelme az újságírás volt. Az évszázad botránya című, magyarul eddig sosem publikált kötet páratlan újságírói örökségének állít emléket, és az 1950–1984 között keletkezett cikkeiből válogat. Az ötven írás a García Márqueztől megszokott feltartóztathatatlan elbeszélői lendülettel vezet el a barranquillai évek szárnypróbálgatásaitól a nemzetközi hírnévig. Cikkeiben Pablo Escobar újságírókat terrorizál, a pápa szabadságra megy, a levelek pedig soha nem érnek célba.

Takiego wydania wyboru opowiadań Gabriela Garcíi Márqueza jeszcze nie było: po pierwsze, prezentowane są w nim opowiadania z różnych tomów (od "W tym mieście nie ma złodziei" po "Dwanaście opowiadań tułaczych"), po drugie zaś, opowiadania umieszczone w tej specyficznej antologii zostały zilustrowane. Magia literatury wzbogacona zostaje o magię kolorów i obrazów, a przede wszystkim o wyobraźnię bliską baśni.

Najpełniejszy zbiór nowelistyki Gabriela Garcii Marqueza sprzed Dwunastu opowiadań tułaczych obejmujący zarówno tom Dialog lustra (poszerzony, za najnowszym hiszpańskojęzycznym wydaniem, o trzy opowiadania: Tubal-Kain wykuwa gwiazdę, Nataniel składa wizytę i Mężczyzna przychodzi w deszczu) jak i W tym mieście nie ma złodziei oraz Niewiarygodną i smutną historię niewinnej Erendiry i jej niegodziwej babki.

Повесть Габриэля Гарсиа Маркеса "Полковнику никто не пишет" относится к достаточно ранним произведениям автора и написана в реалистическом стиле. Здесь нашли отражение истории, которые произошли в семье писателя, а также социально-экономические реалии Колумбии середины 20 века.

"Nada se parece tanto al infierno como un matrimonio feliz!" Asi inicia Graciela -esposa de un hombre acomodado, en la antesala de las bodas de plata de su matrimonio- su monologo, su dialogo frustrado mas bien, sobre la dicha y la infelicidad intima, sobre el paralelismo entre el ascenso social y el crecimiento del desamor. Graciela se dirige a su marido; pero este es un maniqui, un objeto sobre el que proyectar el desencanto de una vida jalonada de perdidas: de la confianza en el, del respeto por el, del valor de sus sentimientos hacia el. Todo para saber que, a pesar de sus rencores, ni siquiera le queda el consuelo de decirle que no le ama. Diatriba de amor contra un hombre sentado, monologo en un acto, es la reconstruccion de una vida compartida y un retrato de una mujer presa de un amor que sabe que no podra compartir, atenazada por una "soledad sonora" sin mistica pero con sordina.

Die Geschichten des Literaturnobelpreisträgers Gabriel García Márquez entführen in andere Welten und Zeiten, sie sind anrührend und komisch, phantastisch und faszinierend. Eine Prosa, die den Leser verzaubern und nicht mehr loslassen wird: über Wunder und Alltägliches, über leidenschaftliche Liebe und unerbittlichen Hass, über Treue und Verrat. 'Wenn es einen Geschichtenerzähler gibt, dann heißt er Gabriel García Márquez. Keiner unter den Lebenden kommt ihm gleich.' DIE WOCHE

Toen Florentino Ariza de dertienjarige Fermina zag, werd hij getroffen door de vonk van de eeuwige liefde. Na meer dan een halve eeuw, waarin Fermina getrouwd is met een ander en Florentino zelf 622 affaires heeft, sterft Fermina´s man en kan Florentino haar opnieuw zijn eeuwige trouw beloven. Op ongeëvenaarde wijze brengt Márquez de grote thema´s liefde, dood, ouderdom,noodlot en begeerte samen in een mild en menselijk universum.

"Gabriel Garcia Marquez's most political novel is the tragic story of General Simon Bolivar, the man who tried to unite a continent." Bolivar, known in six Latin American countries as the Liberator, is one of the most revered heroes of the western hemisphere; in Garcia Marquez's reimagining he is magnificently flawed as well. The novel follows Bolivar as he takes his final journey in 1830 down the Magdalena River toward the sea, revisiting the scenes of his former glory and lamenting his lost dream of an alliance of American nations. Forced from power, dogged by assassins, and prematurely aged and wasted by a fatal illness, the General is still a remarkably vital and mercurial man. He seems to remain alive by the sheer force of will that led him to so many victories in the battlefields and love affairs of his past. As he wanders in the labyrinth of his failing powers - and still-powerful memories - he defies his impending death until the last.

21 Erzählungen aus rund 25 Jahren. Gemeinsam ist ihnen allen das Thema von der unentrinnbaren Zeit, von Tod im Leben, von Gewalt und Einsamkeit. Weltabgeschiedene Orte der Karibik, irgendwo zwischen Meer und Wüste, sind die Schauplätze. In dieser Welt mit ihrem alltäglichen Elend wird das Unglaubliche alltäglich, das Wunder Wirklichkeit.

Un empobrecido coronel aguarda desde hace quince años una pensión de guerra que les permita vivir a él y a su esposa asmática. Resignado a no recibir jamás la pensión prometida, el coronel cifra sus esperanzas en los ingresos que pueda proporcionarle la venta de su sola posesión de valor: el gallo de pelea que le dejó su único hijo tras morir.

În 1942, într-o mănăstire din Columbia, sunt scoase la lumină rămăşiţele lumeşti ale unei adolescente, Sierva Maria de Todos Los Angeles. Splendida ei podoabă capilară măsoară douăzeci şi doi de metri lungime... Să fie oare această descoperire fructul imaginaţiei înflăcărate a autorului? Reală sau fictivă, ea reprezintă punctul de plecare al unei inedite poveşti de dragoste, desfăşurate pe fundalul pitoresc şi decadent al oraşului Cartagena de Indias, la mijlocul secolului al XVIII-lea. La vârsta de doisprezece ani, Sierva Maria este muşcată de un câine. Bănuind-o de turbare sau că ar fi posedată de diavol, Inchiziţia o trimite la o mănăstire, unde, alături de exorcistul ei, don Cayetano Delaura, trăieşte o pasiune nebună, distructivă şi, prin urmare, blestemată... Prin această capodoperă situată la cumpăna dintre istorie şi legendă, misticism şi erotism, Gabriel García Márquez depăşeşte graniţele realismului magic.

En Los funerales de la Mamá Grande (1962) se reunen siete cuentos y la novela corta que da titulo al volumen, en la que se narran las fastuosas exequias de esa mujer muerta en olor de santidad a los noventa y dos anos de edad, autentica soberana de Macondo.

Da un'antica tomba nel convento delle clarisse emerge una lunghissima chioma rossa. Da questo evento ha origine il romanzo, ambientato in una Cartagena de Indias perduta in un oscuro passato coloniale. Una bellissima bambina, un medico negromante e un giovane esorcista posseduto dal mal d'amore sono protagonisti di una passione innaturale e distruttiva. García Márquez dà vita a pagine di struggente poesia e di emozionato pudore e conduce il lettore in un universo capace di travolgere i sensi e i sentimenti in nome di una passione erotica che diventa malattia, metafora della letteratura e della vita.

Miguel Littín est chilien et metteur en scène de cinéma. Il fait partie des 5 000 Chiliens qui sont interdits de séjour dans leur pays. Au début de l'année 1985, pourtant, Miguel Littín est rentré clandestinement au Chili. Pendant six semaines, grâce à la résistance intérieure, il a réussi à diriger trois équipes de nationalités différentes pour filmer clandestinement, jusque dans le palais présidentiel, la réalité du pays sous la dictature militaire. Le résultat visible de cette aventure est un film de quatre heures pour la télévision et une version de deux heures pour les salles de cinéma. Le résultat lisible est autre chose encore : l'aventure de Miguel Littín, c'est de retrouver son pays sans avoir le droit de s'y montrer autrement qu'en étranger ; c'est aussi de confronter ses opinions d'exilé avec la réalité de la résistance d'aujourd'hui. C'est enfin de s'interroger sur la validité et sur l'utilité de la création dans une lutte politique. On comprend dès lors les raisons pour lesquelles Gabriel Garcia Marquez a tenu à écrire ce récit.

Pubblicato nel 1955, “Foglie morte” è il primo romanzo di García Márquez e contiene già in sintesi gli elementi storici e mitici, nonché i personaggi emblematici, del microcosmo di Macondo, il paese immaginario reso poi celebre da “Cent’anni di solitudine”. Qui, tre narratori-testimoni (un ragazzo, sua madre, suo nonno) sono le voci monologanti attraverso le quali è possibile ricostruire, dai diversi punti di vista generazionali, la storia di un suicida. Scritto sotto l’influenza della narrativa di Faulkner (il gioco delle voci e dei livelli temporali diversi oltre al senso incombente della morte), il romanzo trova il valore unitario nell’alone di mistero e di sospensione che sovrasta la figura del medico suicida e che dilatandosi oltre i confini della vicenda stessa assurge a costante dell’invenzione narrativa di Márquez.

Con la presente obra, Roa Bastos, galardonado con el premio Cervantes, realizó su contribución al quinto centenario del descubrimiento de América. "Quiere este texto recuperar la carnadura del hombre común, oscuramente genial, que produjo sin saberlo, sin proponérselo, sin presentirlo siquiera, el mayor acontecimiento cosmográfico y cultural registrado en dos milenios de historia de la humanidad. Este hombre enigmático, tozudo, desmemoriado para todo lo que no fuera su obsesión, nos dejó su ausencia, su olvido. La historia le robó su nombre. Necesito quinientos años para nacer como mito". Escrita desde el lado del nuevo mundo descubierto por Colón, Vigilia del Almirante plantea una reivindicación del universo indígena que, en esta apasionante novela, el propio navegante reclama para los habitantes primitivos. Repleta de sorpresas literarias e históricas, Vigilia del Almirante supone una contribución polémica y audaz a la mejor literatura de nuestro tiempo.
