Información del producto

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. No writer alive today exerts the magical appeal of Gabriel García Márquez. Now, in the long-awaited first volume of his autobiography, he tells the story of his life, from his birth in 1927 to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to his wife. 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. “An abundant. . . rich book. It’s García Márquez’s power to discover all kinds of enduring truths in memory’s fog banks that has made him one of the most popular living writers.” —-Time, “To read Living to Tell the Tale is to submit to the narrative thrall of an author who believes that there is no human experience that cannot be turned into a gorgeously composed story.” —Entertainment Weekly
