About the author

Gabriel José de la Concordia Garcí­a Márquez was a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist. Garcí­a Márquez, familiarly known as "Gabo" in his native country, was considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

He studied at the University of Bogotá and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best-known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled as magical realism, which uses magical elements and events in order to explain real experiences. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo, and most of them express the theme of solitude.

Having previously written shorter fiction and screenplays, García Márquez sequestered himself away in his Mexico City home for an extended period of time to complete his novel Cien años de soledad, or One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967. The author drew international acclaim for the work, which ultimately sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. García Márquez is credited with helping introduce an array of readers to magical realism, a genre that combines more conventional storytelling forms with vivid, layers of fantasy.

Another one of his novels, El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), or Love in the Time of Cholera, drew a large global audience as well. The work was partially based on his parents' courtship and was adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem. García Márquez wrote seven novels during his life, with additional titles that include El general en su laberinto (1989), or The General in His Labyrinth, and Del amor y otros demonios (1994), or Of Love and Other Demons.

Reviews

[Ani Artinyan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Най-забележителното при Маркес е, че истината не е вярна и няма много общо с фактите.

Що се отнася до "Есента на патриарха", за мен беше изтощително изживяване, но си заслужаваше. Уморяват нескончаемият и задъхан словоизлив, честата неоповестена смяна на разказвач / гледна точка / време, както и липсата на каквато и да било целева точка, към която произведението да гравитира. В контраст с този ритъм, повтарящите се мотиви и застиналостта на обстоятелствата носят усещане за безкрайност и бавно гниене. Цялостният ефект е търсен, много добре намерен и основополагащ за посланието.

Един от любимите ми елементи: в безвремието и абсурда на разказа не разбираме дали диктаторът общува с 15-ина последователни американски посланици, или просто те, като външни фактори, са толкова маловажни за вчерупчената диктатура, че имената им са взаимозаменяеми и/или постоянно забравяни от него.
