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.

كانت تفعل كُل شيئ بطريقة منهجية وبثقة كبيرة وكأن لا شيء غير مُتوقع حدث لها.

كيف يُحطم الحُب صاحبه إلى هذا الحد، وخصوصًا لو كان من النظرة الأولى؟ كيف يُمكن للإنسان أن ينسحق تحت وقع هذا الجمال؟

قصة مُسافر وحيد تجمعه الصدفة بفتاة - كما يُسميها- ملاك. وقع في حبها من النظرة الأولى وتخيل عوالم تجمعهم معًا. تفحصها وهي نائمة بجواره شبرًا شبرًا، ، لكن يا عيني مخدش باله من خاتم الزواج غير قبل ما ينزلوا من الطيارة. الحُب بهدلة، صِدقًا.

للمره الثالثه في كتاباته يظهر تأثر "ماركيز" برواية الكاتب الياباني (الجميلات النائمات) وإن كان في المرتان السابقتان كان تأثرا طفيفا إلا إنه هنا لم يتأثر فقط بل أشار بالفعل إلي مصدر إلهامه ! ..

والحقيقه أن في كل المرات لا يمكن أبدا مقارنه أيا منهم بإبداع ما كتبه الأديب الياباني .
