Synopsis "Living to Tell the Tale"

No writer of his time exerted the magical appeal of Gabriel García Márquez. In this long-awaited autobiography, the great Nobel laureate tells the story of his life from his birth in1927 to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to his wife. The result is as spectacular as his finest fiction. Here is García Márquez's shimmering evocation of his childhood home of Aracataca, the basis of the fictional Macondo. Here are the members of his ebulliently eccentric family. Here are the forces that turned him into a writer. Warm, revealing, abounding in images so vivid that we seem to be remembering them ourselves, Living to Tell the Tale is a work of enchantment.

(1927- 2014), nacido en Colombia, es una de las figuras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura universal. Ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1982, fue, además de novelista, cuentista, ensayista, crítico cinematográfico, autor de guiones y un intelectual comprometido con los grandes problemas de nuestro tiempo, sobre todo los que afectaban a su amada Colombia y a Hispanoamérica en general. Máxima figura del llamado «realismo mágico». Fue en definitiva, el hacedor de uno de los mundos narrativos más densos de significado que ha dado la lengua española en el siglo XX.
