The book begins as García Márquez returns to his hometown of Aracataca with his mother to sell the family's house. The narrative becomes a journey through Colombian history, starting with the writer's childhood in Aracataca and ending in 1957 at age 29, when he traveled abroad for the first time. The first volume reflects García Márquez's experience as both a novelist and a journalist." --Books in Print
