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.

Notes:
"This dissertation studies eight Spanish-American writers (Isabel Allende, Miguel Angel Asturias, Alejo Carpentier, José Donoso, Carlos Fuentes, Joáo Guimaráes Rosa, Gabriel García Márquez, and Juan Rulfo) and two French Caribbean writers (Maryse Condé and Simone Schwarz-Bart) and explores the use in their works of "magic realism" as an allegory of the colonial experience. Beginning in Chapter One with the work of Alejo Carpentier,... I have attempted to illustrate that the novel studies the trauma of colonialism and its enduring effects. Chapter Two examines the history and describes the elements that make up magic realism, illustrating its varied aspects with examples from the works of the authors cited above. Chapter Three deals with the history and description of allegory and shows how its characteristics mirror those of magic realism. Chapter Four studies the work of the two French Caribbean authors and explores the limits of allegory as seen in the work of Simone Schwarz-Bart. The conclusion makes use of a novel by New Zealand author, Janet Frame, to illustrate the fact that magic realism is found, not only in so-called "post-colonial" countries, but in the work of First World authors, where the effects of oppression are evident in the lives of the "colonizers" as well."
