Zuluaga Osorio states that because there is so much written about Gabriel García Márquez already, there is a need to present a reduced bibliography that points to opening new possibilities and not reduce perspectives. According to the author, the included bibliography, with a little over fifty titles, is excessive because the purpose of it is to orient and nothing more.

Notes:
This work is a type of analysis that is traditionally known as a themeology, in other words, it talks about the interrelationships between the literary works of this kind. The author begins classifying the novels in the following categories: (a) "Enfoques," which is more or less the perspective through which the flow of information is regulated. (b) "Testigos," as the name says it. the witness of the novel is the same imaginary narrator, who at the same time, imposes his perspective. (c) "Intimidades," novels in which the author looks behind the characters and relevant historic situations, he expresses that the reader is who solicits that intimate look. (d) "Posmodernidad," where the new historic novel coincides with the postmodernism. (e) "Irreverencia," Robert Graves was the first that included this characteristic in the historic novels, by taking history precisely as a sketch made by historians and completed by the novelists. (f) "Depuración," by the interpretation of the author, is an inherent process to the historic novel, for which in Anglosaxon literature, there has been a distinction between romance and novel. (g) "Pronósticos," where it says that literary criticism should also be prospective, lastly (h) "Diferencias," where the author exposes his theoric differences with Seymour Menton.
The book begins with a short biography of Gabriel García Márquez's life and discusses his contributions to literature, including literary techniques such as magical realism. It also provides literary analysis for five short stories and "One Hundred Years of Solitude," "Chronicle of a Death Foretold," and "Love in the Time of Cholera."

This work contains fundamental information for geography and town development, politics and society, economics and culture of today's Cuba. It treats numerous aspects apart from the current economic crisis and the relationship to Europe and the USA: tourism, housing and sexual politics, the myth of the revolution and the role of the political opposition, language, literature, film, music, painting and philosophy. The mixture of background information and Cuban history and culture, from the 20th century and articles to the direct present, makes this an equally useful manual today for specialists and aficionados alike.
