Notes:
"The objective of this dissertation is to show that the Caribbean culture plays an essential role in Gabriel García Márquez's works, determining space, and structure and influencing his characters. In his books, the novelist revisits the first colonial chroniclers' vision and presents the Caribbean as a unified anthropological marvel, which irradiates from the West-Indian archipelago towards the southern portion of United States, Central America, and the northern zone of South America. The Caribbean culture is not only a vital source from which his narrative is born, but he cleaves his novelistic space into two opposite worlds, converting them in hyperbolic antinomies."
