This two volume set is composed of notes and papers presented in a conference on literature held from August 4-8, 1997 in Quito. This article talks about three of Gabriel García Márquez's books. The author states "'El otoño del patriarca,' 'El Coronel no tiene quien le escriba,' y 'El General en su laberinto,' son muestra de una literatura que alegoriza esos 'dias de gloria' y sintetiza todo un proceso histórico a partir del relato ficcional que encubre una 'verdadera historia no contada' - sustituida como el continente mismo- y abre la posibilidad desde la perspectiva del ocaso del poder para una interpretación no explícita."

"No se necesita ver y palpar una tierra para amarla sin remedio. Basta con imaginarla, a través de la buena literatura que García Márquez leyó antes de llegar a ella. La imaginación literaria parece llegar antes que los propios pies."

"This article, inspired by a TV interview with the Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez, revises the ways that the fiction in One Hundred Years of Solitude has been accepted as history. In particular, it raises some questions about how literary critics and historians have accepted as history Garci?a Ma?rquez's rendition of the events during the strike that took place in Colombia in 1928. It examines the repressive nature of the Colombian regime and of the strike itself; it also examines the idea that following the strike there was a sort of 'conspiracy of silence' to erase the truth from the nation's history."

Notes:
"Consabido es que el Tiempo constituye el núcleo duro de la semántica de as ficciones de Gabriel García Márquez, incluso en las memorias del protagonista nonagenario de su última novela publicada. Tan evidentes son dos temáticas que se injertan en el tronco de Cronos y cruzan casi todos los textos del imaginación del Nobel colombiano: los amores difíciles y el Poder."
