كتب الأستاذ العقاد مقالا في مناسبة عبوره سن الخمسين بأمان، ووتبعه بآخر عندما تجاوز الستين، وتبعه آخر عند السبعين بعد أن قطع سلالم الستين العشرة ومر على الرقم السبعيني بعنفوان الشيخوخة، وأوقفه الموت قبل أن يتيح له كتابه مقاله لتهنئة نفسه بعبوره عامه الثمانين، فكان العقاد إذن رجلًا سبعينًا، رحمه ال...
El tema de El otono del patriarca, que por su estructura y su lenguaje no tiene precedentes en la literatura latinoamericana y ni siquiera en la obra del autor, son las ilusiones y la soledad irremediable del poder encarnadas en una figura anonima y mitica que es la de muchos patriarcas de la Ame...
Instead of writing a review by jotting down my bleak understanding of the glorious book by Gabo I thought of weaving a little tale based on it and using the characters along with the principle symbolism in the book-'Disbelief is more resistant than faith because it is sustained by the senses' As ...
Premio Nobel de Literatura“Una obra atrevida y cautivadora… García Márquez retiene una voz admirable y vital, y la pluma de un ángel”.—Los Angeles Times Book Review El 26 de octubre de 1949 el reportero Gabriel García Márquez fue enviado al antiguo convento de Santa Clara, que iba a ser demolido ...
Gabriel Garcia Marquez é para mim um escritor esquisito, não só ao nível da composição dos seus textos, como sobretudo devido à estranheza das suas histórias.Prémio Nobel em 1982, Garcia Marquez assentou toda a sua carreira, enquanto escritor, num género que podemos classificar, ou pelo menos eu ...
شبه مراجعة كانت هذه نوت كتبتها على بروفايلي الشخصي على الفيسبوك في يوم الإثنين 29 نوفمبر 2010 وأعتقد ان هذا التاريخ كان قريبا جدا من آخر انتخابات برلمانية في عهد مبارك ... ربما كان الجودريدز قد ظهر على الإنترنت وأنا لم أعلم به وربما لم يكن قد ظهر بعد... لم تكن تلك مراجعة بقدر ما كانت صرخة في صدر...

“Noticia De Un Secuestro” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a novel based upon a woman who was kidnapped in Bogota, Colombia. I have a deep passion for books that deal with crime and drug cartels. I strongly belief more authors should focus on writing books that relate to the modern world. I was hook...
Sono felice di aver letto questo racconto in una vecchia edizione, con le pagine ingiallite dall'umidità di quasi quattro decenni. L'impressione regalata da questo libro è quella piacevolissima, e ormai rara, dei romanzi d'avventura di un tempo: racconta l'esperienza realmente vissuta nel febbrai...
I have read some of this book as a Penguin 60, in which four of these were re-published.Like that review, I have stuck it is a spoiler, as with stories so short it is hard not to give plot information... but no more than other reviews have... and I don't think I have spoiled them...As it explains...
En Barcelona, una prostituta que va entrando en la vejez entrena su perro a llorar ante la tumba que ha escogido para sí misma. En Viena, una mujer se vale de su don de ver el futuro para convertirse en la adivina de una familia rica. En Ginebra, el conductor de una ambulancia y su esposa acogen ...
I always feel a twinge of pity when someone tells me, “I don’t read for pleasure any more” or “I only read non-fiction.” Most of the pity is sympathy for the fact that, in today’s busy world, we just don’t have the time. Whenever someone expresses awe at the number of books I read in a year and a...
I am again impressed by the writing techniques of Gabriel Garcia Marques, even though I don't necessary like his stories that don't focus too much on the narrative flow. These kind of books, flow of consciousness type with some magical realism, for me were interesting the first time I come across...
Another collection of short stories, and Marquez excels in the format. In this book, the first short story - the one about Erendira of the title - is about half the book, and the other eleven stories are much shorter. The majority of the stories are about death, actually, whether it's encroaching...
There isn’t really much left to say about Senor Marquez. He is the supreme storyteller, the master of transforming the most simple and spare prose into something so magically vivid and colourful. Latin America grows in mystique every time I read him, and it’s a life goal for me to discover the co...
"Nota de la primera ediciónLa primera vez que se publicó La Mala Hora, en 1962,un corrector de pruebas se permitió cambiar ciertos términos y almidonar el estilo, en nombre de la pureza del lenguaje.En esta ocasión, a su vez, el autor se ha permitido restituir las incorrecciones sintomática,y las...
Truth be told, I've never read Marquez before, not 100 Years of Solitude, not Love in the Time of Cholera, nothing. I've always wanted to, of course, because anyone who reads always has a pile of books and authors they will read one day, however, Marquez has always slipped out of my reach for som...
El libro se compone de 20 capítulos no titulados, en los cuales se narra una historia con una estructura cíclica temporal, ya que los acontecimientos del pueblo y de la familia Buendía, así como los nombres de los personajes se repiten una y otra vez, fusionando la fantasía con la realidad. En lo...
Not even the least prudent among us would accept appearances because so many times it had been a given fact that he was prostrate with epilepsy and would fall off his throne during the course of audiences twisting with convulsions as gall froth foamed out of his mouth, that he had lost his speech...
Our daily conduct, dominated then by so many linear habits, had suddenly begun to spin around a single common anxiety. The cocks of dawn would catch us trying to give order to the chain of many chance events that had made absurdity possible, and it was obvious that we weren’t doing it from an urg...
Balthazar hung it under the eave, from force of habit, and when he finished lunch everyone was already saying that it was the most beautiful cage in the world. So many people came to see it that a crowd formed in front of the house, and Balthazar had to take it down and close the shop. ‘You have ...
Dr. Juvenal Urbino noticed it as soon as he entered the still darkened house where he had hurried on an urgent call to attend a case that for him had lost all urgency many years before. The Antillean refugee Jeremiah de Saint-Amour, disabled war veteran, photographer of children, and his most sym...
But a hundred miles from shore it’s different. Sea gulls have a highly developed instinct for self-preservation on land but at sea they’re very cocky. I lay so still that the playful little sea gull perching on my thigh probably thought I was dead. I watched it. It pecked at my pants but didn’t h...
She appeared without warning, wearing an ivory-colored dress, a string of pearls that reached almost to her knees, emerald and topaz rings, and with her straight hair in a smooth bun held behind her ears by swallow-tail brooches. The man whom she had married six months before was a thin, older Fl...
He removed the pot from the fire, poured half the water onto the earthen floor, and scraped the inside of the can with a knife until the last scrapings of the ground coffee, mixed with bits of rust, fell into the pot. While he was waiting for it to boil, sitting next to the stone fireplace with a...
