Explores how García Márquez incorporates violent imagery and themes in his work and how this depiction of violence links his narrative to conflict in contemporary Colombia. Prologue by Darío Jaramillo, p.xi-xxii.
This book gathers articles, essays and notes about Colombian literature written between 1967 and 1997. Gabriel García Márquez takes the lead in what the author calls "the mid-century generation."
The authors have traced magazines, archives, newspapers, and have interviewed people who met Gabriel García Márquez. Gabriel García Márquez, obsessed with power, leaders, and the highest diplomatic mediation, saw in the Cuban patriarch the model for which Latin America could some day construct a proper socialism. This book comes from a double fascination: Cuba and literature, where the lives of Fidel Castro and Gabriel García Márquez are told with their grandeur and misery.
This work relies on the hypothesis that Aureliano Buendía's character is based on the life of General Ramón Demetrio Morán. Thus Henríquez affirms that One Hundred Years of Solitude has been written in code and the literary style of the Nobel's fantasy and imagination impeded to find the true background of the novel.
This book constitutes a profound analysis of the partial work of a number of selected texts, that point out the socio-historic character in nine hispanic novelists. This series of critical essays about nine representative authors by Manuel Antonio Arango L., is a clear effort to study and deepen the social context of Hispanic literature and integrate it to the history of Hispanic America.
The interpretative proposal of this work that can very well be seen as a case of cultural study, opens the door to a necessary dialogue about the people who animated the previous readings of the literary work of the Colombian author and the pertinence that these might still have. It also suggests that a footpath of reading is left to go over to better understand the unfolded world of García Márquez's narrations and their hybridization so appropriate for the American world.
This work presents: 1) Definitions and locations: magical realism between modern and postmodern fiction. 2) "From a far source within": magical realism as defocalized narrative defocalization. 3) Encoding the ineffable: a textual poetics for magical realism. 4) "Along the knife-edge of change": magical realism and the post-colonial dynamics of alterity. 5) "Women and women and women": a feminine element in magical realism?

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.

Previously published under Ceiba Editores in 1992. The considerable criticism and interpretative literature about Gabriel García Márquez has transformed him into a "stranger," and for the Colombian readership, his work has become something "unknown," states Carmenza Kline. Her goal is to give back the original spirit of the works, which was prevalent at the time of their writing. She provides excellent coverage of articles written about García Márquez and his works in the Colombian Press, something which is not always available in the USA.
"Since its publication in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude has sold well over 10 million copies and earned its author, Gabriel García Márquez, a host of awards including the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. The novel has brought about comparisons to Cervantes, Faulkner, Woolf, and even the bible. This book is part of Harold Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations." -Publisher

"In the current essay, Eliana Albala- with proof in her hands- objectively reveals the precise formula of a writer who practices witchcraft and alchemy, but that in his sintaxis, is the most obedient and respectful knower of the classics in his language." -Back cover of book
"Since the appearance of the first publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude (1970) in German, Gabriel García Márquez is considered one of the great authors of present literature in Germany. Gabriel García Márquez's success culminated with the Nobel Prize in 1982 and now begins again through his autobiography, Living to Tell the Tale. Harald Irnberger, who has known Gabriel García Márquez and his works for thirty years, looks beyond the magic realism and into the political and journalistic aspects of Gabriel García Márquez. This book submits numerous facts and interpretations." -www.amazon.de
"One of the most recurrent themes in Latin-American literature is that of dictatorship. And maybe the character that obsesses writers the most is the dictator. The return time and time again of literary texts about this subject appears to be no more than the persistent reflection in the history of Latin America of a phenomenon and a figure that, like the patriarch of García Márquez, resist death." -Jorge Scherman Filer.
"Building on his enormously successful series of Philosophers in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern now applies his witty and incisive prose to brief biographical studies of the world's great writers. He brings their lives and ideas to life in entertaining and accessible fashion. Far from being a novelty, each book is a highly refined appraisal of the writer and his work, authoritative and clearly presented." -I.R. Dee Publishing company
