Editorial Review Product Description The protagonist says of himself: "I have never gone to bed with a woman I didn't pay ... by the time I was fifty there were 514 women with whom I had been at least once ... My public life, on the other hand, was lacking in interest:both parents dead, a bachelor without a future, a mediocre journalist ... and a favorite of caricaturists because of my exemplary ugliness." The girl is 14 and works all day in a factory attaching buttons in order to provide for her family.Rosa gives her a combination of bromide and valerian to drink to calm her nerves, and when the prospective lover arrives, she is sound asleep.Now the story really begins.The nonagenarian is not a sex-starved adventurer; he is a tender voyeur.Throughout his 90th year, he continues to meet the girl and watch her sleep.He says, "This was something new for me. I was ignorant of the arts of seduction and had always chosen my brides for a night at random, more for their price than their charms, and we had made love without love, half-dressed most of the time and always in the dark, so we could imagine ourselves as better than we were ... That night I discovered the improbably pleasure of contemplating the body of a sleeping woman without the urgencies of desire or the obstacles of modesty." Márquez's style never falters throughout this recounting of his life and his exploration of love, found at an unexpected time and place.The erstwhile lover is still capable of being surprised--and fulfilled.After an absence of ten years, it is a treat to have another parable from the master. --Valerie Ryan Customer Reviews (119)

Editorial Review Product Description Echoing Vladimir Nabokov's Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited, Márquez uses his memoir as justification for telling an artful story that challenges notions of authoritative record or chronology. Time is porous in Márquez's Colombia, flowing back and forth among the mythic moments of his personal history to accommodate his fascination for place. While recalling a trip he took as an adult to his grandparents' house in Aracataca, he veers suddenly back to childhood and his earliest infant memories in that house. Nearly one hundred pages have passed before he returns effortlessly to the pivotal moment on the trip when he declares to himself and family: "I'm going to be a writer... Nothing but a writer.' Similarly, Márquez toys with the boundaries of truth and fiction throughout his book. He acknowledges that his memory is often faulty, especially with regards to his crucial, formative years with his grandparents. And his explorations of key moments in his life show that, despite his vivid mental snapshots, the events were often temporally impossible. Further, he colors his tale with recollections of ghostly presences and occult events that pass without a wink into his narrative, alongside the documented accounts of his early successes as a poet and singer or details of his first published writings. With its play on time and truth, memory and storytelling, Living to Tell the Tale's literary form acts as early evidence for Márquez's inevitable calling as a writer, and the language of Edith Grossman's translation, which frequently skirts the boundaries of poetry, mirrors Márquez's effort. While he meanders on his picaresque artistic journey--distracted by trysts with a married woman, the tumult of Colombian politics, and the raw energy of the journalist's life--he ends this first volume with the tantalizing promise of the literary career about to explode, and the impossible prospect of even greater riches for his readers. --Patrick O’Kelley Customer Reviews (53)

A sad reality about Colombia
excelente obra narrativa Para: Gloria Leticia Fernández, en Cali. Noticia de un secuestro de Gabriel garcía Márquez es un libro que se deja leer y que presenta y representa la narrativa en su forma más pura. Con un estilo periodístico claro y directo el Gabo nos hace penetrar en lo más hondo de las vidas de los secuestrados y nos hace sentir sus horrores de la manera más sutil, pues en ningún momento se centra su atención en los crímenes o torturas sinoen la vida en común de captores y capturados,ylos esfuerzos del gobierno y de sus familias para liberarlos. Una cosa parece cierta y es que la realidad supera siempre a la ficción y este relato de la vida real lo demuestra por lo novelesco quea veces nos parece y lo increíble de las cosas que pasan en Colombia sacudido como esta por el trafico de drogas, las guerrillas y las constantes luchas internas. Aun así sus habitantes aun viven y trabajan, tratan de forjarse un futuro y muchos luchan por el bienestar de su pueblo. El libro esta narrado de forma magistral como un gran reportaje en que el autor se abstiene de intervenir y es simplemente un narrador de hechos contados por otras personas. Nunca nos deja ver el Gabo sus sentimientos ni estropea la obra con rebuscados sentimentalismos que hubieran hecho de este libro un dramón insoportable. Nota: en Colombia se produjeron mas de tres mil secuestros el año pasado y la practica llamada pesca milagrosa ( asaltar gente en las carreteras sin saber bien quienes son para luego de depurarlos pedir rescate toma fuerza). Los cuerpos elite no dan abasto y el país tiene un índice de peligrosidad muy alto. Espero que mi amiga gloria que se encuentra en Cali este bien y si estas leyendo este articulo, sepaque tiene un amigo en uepa.com y que me puede escribir. Espero que este todo bien en su amada Cali y que la paz llegue pronto a Colombia, que los latinos podamos unirnos en un interés común y hacia objetivos nuevos, que todo el mundo deje de halar para donde más le conviene y que al final podamos progresar en paz. Mis saludos al pueblo Colombiano. Crazzyteacher.

Editorial Review Product Description One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, and alive with unforgettable men and women -- brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul -- this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction. It is typical of Gabriel García Márquez that it will be many pages beforehis narrative circles back to the ice, and many chapters before the hero ofOne Hundred Years of Solitude, Buendía, stands before the firingsquad. In between, he recounts such wonders as an entire town struck withinsomnia, a woman who ascends to heaven while hanging laundry, and asuicide that defies the laws of physics: The story follows 100 years in the life of Macondo, a village founded byJosé Arcadio Buendía and occupied by descendants all sporting variations ontheir progenitor's name: his sons, José Arcadio and Aureliano, andgrandsons, Aureliano José, Aureliano Segundo, and José Arcadio Segundo.Then there are the women--the two Úrsulas, a handful of Remedios, Fernanda,and Pilar--who struggle to remain grounded even as their menfolk buildcastles in the air.If it is possible for a novel to be highly comic anddeeply tragic at the same time, then One Hundred Years of Solitudedoes the trick. Civil war rages throughout, hearts break, dreams shatter,and lives are lost, yet the effect is literary pentimento, with sorrow'soutlines bleeding through the vibrant colors of García Márquez's magicalrealism. Consider, for example, the ghost of Prudencio Aguilar, whom JoséArcadio Buendía has killed in a fight. So lonely is the man's shade that ithaunts Buendía's house, searching anxiously for water with which to cleanits wound. Buendía's wife, Úrsula, is so moved that "the next time she sawthe dead man uncovering the pots on the stove she understood what he waslooking for, and from then on she placed water jugs all about the house." With One Hundred Years of Solitude Gabriel García Márquez introducedLatin American literature to a world-wide readership. Translated into morethan two dozen languages, his brilliant novel of love and loss in Macondostands at the apex of 20th-century literature. --Alix Wilber Customer Reviews (541)

A Short story to revisit for a life time
es muy bueno
UN CUENTO PERECTO
De como Gabriel se hizo inmortal ..... En los cinco primeros veremos a un Gabriel desconocido -sinuna dirección aparente-, misterioso, onírico, fantaseando con la vida y lamuerte.Empleando, además, un lenguaje intrincado que obstaculiza unalectura fluida debiendo el lector detenerse, y a veces hasta retroceder,para descubrir si el personaje que está en escena es el vivo, el muerto, oquizás el muerto que pensaba estar vivo -así de escabroso resulta en susinicios.Sin embargo, recien en "Ojos de Perro Azul" -publicadoen 1950 y el cual con justicia le confiere el título al libro- es donde GGMse encuentra con el escritor que luchaba por nacer .... y nació.Deja delado los monólogos y logra establecer diálogos, omitiendo frasestruculentas y reemplazándolas más bien por otras sencillas y de fácilcomprensión. A diferencia del resto de sus obras -que se publicaríanposterior a "Ojos de Perro Azul"- ésta no constituye una hebra delo que en su conjunto se llamaría "Cien Años de Soledad".Por locontrario -y es allí donde radica su exquisita rareza- nos muestra mundos ypersonajes distintos a través de los cuales aún no se vislumbra a Macondoni mucho menos a un Aureliano Buendía. Esta obra es, pues, una joya"histórica" invalorable para aquellos que admiramos a Gabo, y nosrecuerda que, alguna vez, él también fue humano antes de convertirse en eseser mágico e inmortal que ahora conocemos como .... Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Disappointing
A great short story.
Gabo is great from the beginning
Dreamy "Leaf Storm" isn't a conventionally plotted novella.Instead, it's more of a dreamy and dreamlike character study of three people and their reactions to the suicide (or possible murder) of the town outcast and recluse.When the novella ends, we are left with many unanswered questions, but still, we feel fulfilled for we sense there are things about this suicide/murder that it's best simply not to know. I have to disagree with opinions that Gregory Rabassa didn't do a good job with the translation.I think he did a superb job.He not only translated the story for us, he managed to capture the rain-soaked, steamy melancholy that is the essence of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.Rabassa is well-known as having been one of the world's premier translators and it's easy to see why. I loved the two fantasy stories, "The Hansomest Drowned Man in the World" and "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings."They are filled with the brand of magical realism that only Gabo can write and are just wonderful.I also liked "Monologue of Isabel Watching it Rain in Macondo" and "Ghost Ship." This book gives us a glimpse into the world of Macondo and it's a very seductive glimse indeed.
