Help Search: Biography of Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1928-) Gabriel Garcia Marquez Gabriel Jos© Garc­a M¡rquez was born on March 6, 1928, to Luisa Santiaga Marquez Iguaran and Gabriel Eligio Garcia in Aracataca, Colombia. The prized author and journalist is known to many as simply Gabo. With lyricism and marked wisdom, Marquez has been recognized as one of the most remarkable storytellers of the 20th century. Luisa's parents did not approve of her marriage to a telegraph operator, and her son Gabriel, the oldest of twelve children, was sent to live with his maternal grandparents. Marquez later would claim that his love of story-telling came from his grandparents. On December 6, in the Cienaga train station, about 3,000 striking banana workers were shot and killed by troops from Antioquia. The incident was officially forgotten, and it is omitted from Colombian history textbooks. Although Marquez was still a baby, this event was to have a profound effect on his writing. When Marquez was eight years old, his grandfather died. At that time it was also clear that his grandmother, who was going blind, was increasingly helpless. He was sent to live with his parents and siblings, whom he barely knew, in Sucre. A bright pupil, he won scholarships to complete his secondary education at the Colegio Nacional. There he discovered literature and admired a group of poets called the piedra y cielo ("stone and sky"). This group included Eduardo Carranza, Jorge Rojas, and Aurelio Arturo, and their literary grandfathers were Juan Ramon Jimenez and Pablo Neruda.

He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. In his acceptance speech he commented on the relationship between Latin America and Europe and the United States: "Why is the originality so readily granted us in literature so mistrustfully denied us in our different attempts at social change? Why think that the social justice sought by progressive Europeans for their own countries cannot also be a goal for Latin America, with different methods for dissimilar conditions? No: The immeasurable violence and pain of our history are the result of age old inequities and untold bitterness, and not a conspiracy plotted 3000 leagues from our homes. But many European leaders and thinkers have thought so, with the childishness of old-timers who have forgotten the fruitful excesses of their youth as if it were impossible to find another destiny than to live at the mercy of the two great masters of the world. This, my friends, in the very scale of our solitude."

10. Gabriel Garcia Marquez And Magical Realism Discussion of Spanishlanguage magical realism, particularly in the work of garcia marquez. http://mockingbird.creighton.edu/Ncw/marquez.htm

and Magical Realism Biography He published his first book of short stories, Leafstorm and Other Stories in 1955. His most famous work is his novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude was published in 1967. In 1982, he won the Nobel prize for literature. Colombia Magical Realism "Magical realism expands the categorizes of the real so as to encompass myth, magic and other extraordinary phenomena in Nature or experience which European realism excluded" ( eds. Bernard McGuirk and Richard Cardwell, 45). "He's an angel," she told them. "He must have been coming for the child, but the poor fellow is so old that the rain knocked him down" (204). "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" demonstrates Marquez's ability to tell a fairy tale or folk tale in a realistic manner while incorporating the magic of the angel. The angel is the catalyst for the family's recovery from destitution. Before the arrival of the angel, they are a simple, poor family with a dying son. Once the angel is captured, the son recovers and the family uses the angel for financial gain. Marquez shows us true human nature. An incredible being falls to the Earth and the humans use it to make a fast buck. Eventually, the family grows to resent the angel and they wish it would vanish. Instead of the simplistic, happy ending of the ordinary fairy tale, the characters are allowed to exploit Nature until it flies off without a word. Consequently, the angel is never allowed to fulfill his destiny which was to take the soul of the dying child.

12. Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Final Farewell During the summer of 1999 gabriel garcia marquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of such classics as One Hundred Years of Solitude http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/marquez.html

Add/Read Comments Search Site Main Page Back to Gallery: ... After 2000 Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Final Farewell During the summer of 1999 Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of such classics as One Hundred Years of Solitude, was treated for lymphatic cancer. In the wake of that, there were persistent rumors about his failing health. On May 29, 2000 these rumors appeared to be confirmed when a poem that was signed with his name appeared in the Peruvian daily La Republica. The poem was titled "La Marioneta" or "The Puppet," and it was reportedly a farewell poem that Garcia Marquez had written and sent out to his closest friends on account of his worsening condition. The text of the poem, as well as the news of Garcia Marquez's worsening condition, quickly spread to other newspapers. On May 30 Mexico City dailies reproduced it. La Cronica ran a headline that read "Gabriel Garcia Marquez sings a song to life," and published the poem superimposed on a photo of the novelist on its front page. The poem was also read on many radio stations and spread quickly throughout the world via the internet. The poem itself was highly sentimental and full of cliches that one would not have normally expected from the great writer. For instance, the poem declared at one point the author's desire to "live in love with love." (the entire text of the poem, translated into English, is reproduced to the right).

June 15, 1997 The Autumn of the Drug Lord Gabriel García Márquez recounts the crimes Pablo Escobar committed to avoid extradition to the United States Read the First Chapter By ROBERT STONE More on Gabriel García Márquez from The New York Times Archives News of a Kidnapping By Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Translated by Edith Grossman. 291 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $25. ccording to the lore of dope a welter of fantasy, exaggeration and fractured recollection that by now rivals ''The Lay of the Host of Igor'' or ''The Mabinogion'' in circuitous complexity the cocaine boom was born in the Federal Correctional Institution at Danbury, Conn., sometime in the 1970's, when Carlos Lehder Rivas, then a humble automobile parts smuggler, was doing time in a cell with a hippie marijuana broker. The hippie kept holding forth on how grand and festive the day of his release would be. His girl would be there, his good buddies, some mellow sounds. And there would be coke, cocaine, than which if God ever made anything better He never let on. Except of course for heroin. ''Caramba!'' says Mr. Lehder, soon to be a villain of James Bond-movie proportions, with private islands, helicopters and speedboats, who once commissioned a giant statue of his hero, John Lennon, and employed a special sort of personal trainer to impress on his enemies the folly of crossing him. ''If cocaine is what you like, we have it lying around on the ground in my country.'' Or so the story goes.
