- www.democracyno... - One of the greatest novelists and writers of the 20th century has died. Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez passed away Thursday in Mexico at the age of 87. It has been reported that only the Bible has sold more copies in the Spanish language than the works of García Márquez, who was affectionately known at "Gabo" throughout Latin America. His book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is considered one of the masterful examples of the literary genre known as magic realism, and it won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. The Swedish Academy described it as a book "in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination, reflecting a continent's life and conflicts." We air clips of him speaking in his own words about writing his acclaimed book.

One of the slowest reads of my life
kept setting the book down to marvel at what I had just read
"Death didn't matter to him..life did..." The best book I have ever read...
I tend to agree - to some extent. Did you read Master and Margarita by Bulhakov?
@@nicku1 First time hearing about at, Thanks.Will try it.
@@nicku1 I have read it. Fantastic Laugh riot, as well as lots to think about in it.
The things that Gabriel García Márquez says in that book are not fiction here, in the colombian caribbean coast. Here you'll always find people that will tell you stories like those.
I started reading 100 years of solitude like a week ago, as a colombian, I must definetely read the most important book of my country's literature.
Wonderful Book by a great author, there is no other masterpiece like hundred years of solitude. I read translation in Persian, one of the most successful books translated into Farsi.
Gabriel Garcia Marques is a magician in storytelling.
As a man of mixed Latino heritage I loved this man. I read Cholera first and it's my favorite, though One Hundred Years was read later and, well . . . he deserves these accolades.
Marquez ,a legend writer.Latin America is the holy land of football and revolution.Marquez is a gift of Latin America for entire world.His lot of books have Malayalam translation(Kerala in India)...Hithesh,Kerala,India...'UNIVERSAL ARROW'
Finished the book a few months ago. AMAZING BOOK!!!!
Te amo, Gabo❤️🩹

Listening to you in Goa, and really learning/enjoying!

তুমি আমার অনুভবের অথৈ স্বপ্নময়তা-আ
তুমি আমার ভালবাসার অনন্ত কত কথা-আ
নীল ছোয়াঁ আকাশ তুমি যেন সীমাহীন বিশালতা-আ
ভোরের শিশির ভেজা যেন তুমি
নিষ্পাপ সংগীতা-আ-আআ🥀🥀
He was a brilliant writer!! ...hope I get some free time to read more of his novels and re-read some :)
I cry
I came to know about this in 1984. This book was published in Spanish. The president of India read this book in Spanish well before it was translated in English. There is a mention of Fiedel Castro. There is a sentence "no body has died here", what it means. After a lapse of 38 years I am going to read it. There is no internet copy available to download.
Do you have it? I can sent you a pdf if you want to
At first I thought his book was horrible! The morals, the incest, the horrid scenes of mass destruction. Then I did a research paper on the book and started comparing real life events to the scenes in the book. This man was a genius and while I don’t love the book fully, I can’t deny the genius of Gabriel Marquez Garcia in the use of historical events in this book.
WONDERFUL writer
How many know that he intended his masterpiece as a comic work?
"la Mala Hora!!!"❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Nobel Prize is awarded for a body of work over years, not a single piece of work (like the Pulizer).
False
Nobel Prize could be awarded for a single work. The first asian ever to win the prize, indian poet and story writer rabindranath tagore, wrote in bengali exclusively (later he started writing in English); in 1913 he published a collection of his bengali poems, Gitanjali (song offering), which he himself translated into English, and that same year he was awarded the prize based on that single book.
Wish hed lived to 100.
I read 100 years of solitude when I was 15. Thanks to my teacher....
Great writer
I was named after him
That’s tight
It is hard to imagine such imaginative and compelling and innovative writing can come from one brain.
Amazing book but names of the character r so tough to understand easily. Specifically Ursula, a mother character was tremendous
RIP!
this is my faith
He mattered as much as his books. Selah.
wow
The newsman looks like mexican Tom Hanks

Shame on his relationship with the Castros for the rest, he was an amazing writer!
What do you mean? From someone who doesnt know anything about The Castros
@@jimmyyungg7329 I think he was good friend with Fidel Castro.

Shame on you for holding such an ill-informed opinion.
