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.

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

"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.

"In the light, The General in His Labyrinth (1983) may be read as yet another variation on the theme of solitary, powerful men whose separation from reality leads to the fracturing of the self, historical agency, and the promise of solidarity."

"The purpose of this study is to examine the image of the dictator in the literature of Latin America. The dictator, as he is depicted in the works of Alejo Carpentier, Augusto Roa Bastos, and Gabriel García Márquez, is a central archetypal icon who embodies the tragic history of anti-democratic rule in the Latin American republics. The dictator, however, also personifies the complexities and contradictions that come with military rule. The 3 authors seek to examine the dynamics of dictatorial power, but they also explore deeper psychological, aesthetic, historical, and philosophical problems surrounding the novel of the dictator."
