En este primer volumen de la Obra periodística de García Márquez, que abarca el período desde que empezó a escribir para El Universal de Cartagena, en mayo de 1948, hasta diciembre de 1952, ya se advierte el pensamiento y la pasion del autor. Los articulos que componen Textos costeños, primer volumen de la Obra periodistica de Gabriel Garcia Marquez, abarcan el periodo que va de mayo de 1948 a diciembre de 1952. Por un lado constituyen los primeros escritos de un joven de veinte años que llegaria a ser el novelista hispanico mas importante de la actualidad y, por otro, son el testimonio del convulsionado mundo colombiano tras la muerte de Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, el 9 de abril de 1948. Los comienzos de Gabriel Garcia Marquez como redactor de El Universal supondrian el punto de partida de una conmocion literaria que ha influido profundamente en la literatura contemporanea. El hecho mas puntual,la noticia mas cotidiana, se inscriben en el universo de magia literaria privativo del gran creador de Cien años de soledad,El otoño del patriarca y Cronica de una muerte anunciada.En muchos casos, estos impecables textos -recopilados y prologados por Jaques Gilard- se convierten en la explicacion de ambitos que en sus

Strange, wondrous things happen in these two short stories, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings and The Sea of Lost Time, which are both the perfect introduction to Gabriel García Márquez, and a wonderful read for anyone who loves the magic and marvels of his novels.'The world had been sad since Tuesday. Sea and sky were a single ash-grey thing and the sands of the beach, which on March nights glimmered like powered light, had become a stew of mud and rotten shellfish. The light, was so weak at noon that when Pelayo was coming back to the house after throwing away the crabs, it was hard for him to see what it was that was moving and groaning in the rear of the courtyard. He had to go very close to see that It was and old man, lying face down in the mud, who, in spite of his tremendous efforts, couldn't get up impeded by his enormous wings.'A celebration of one of the world's most loved writers.

Per cinquantun anni, nove mesi e quattro giorni Fiorentino Ariza ha perseverato nel suo amore per Fermina Daza, la piu bella ragazza dei Caraibi, senza mai vacillare davanti a nulla, resistendo alle minacce del padre di lei e senza perdere le speranze neppure di fronte al matrimonio d'amore di Fermina con il dottor Urbino. Un eterno incrollabile sentimento che Fiorentino continua a nutrire contro ogni possibilita fino all'inattesa, quasi incredibile, felice conclusione. Una storia d'amore e di speranza con la quale, per una volta, Gabriel Garcia Marquez abbandona la sua abituale inquietudine e il suo continuo impegno di denuncia sociale per raccontare un'epopea di passione e di ottimismo. Un romanzo atipico da cui emergono il gusto intenso per una narrazione corposa e fiabesca, le colorate descrizioni dell'assolato Caribe e della sua gente. Un affresco nel quale, non senza ironia, si dipana mezzo secolo di storia, di vita, di mode e abitudini, aggiungendo una nuova folla di protagonisti a una tra le piu straordinarie gallerie di personaggi della letteratura contemporanea.
Setting out to reconstruct a murder that took place 27 years earlier, this chronicle moves backwards and forwards in time, through the contradictions of memory and moments lost in time. Its irony gives the book the nuances of a political fable.
Erendira accidentally burns down her grandmother's house and is forced to pay her back with the money she earns from prostitution. However, it seems Erendira has a more appropriate way of repaying her. The book's main themes are death, power, love and duty.
El coronel no tiene quien le escriba fue escrita por Gabriel García Márquez durante su estancia en París, adonde había llegado comocorresponsal de prensa y con la secreta intención de estudiar cine, a mediados de los años cincuenta. El cierre del periodico para el que trabajaba le sumio en la pobreza, mientras redactaba en tres versiones distintas esta excepcional novela, que luego fue rechazada por varios editores antes de su publicacion. Tras el barroquismo faulkneriano de La hojarasca, esta segunda novela supone un paso hacia la ascesis, hacia la economia expresiva, y el estilo del escritor se hace mas puro y transparente. Se trata tambien de una historia de injusticia y violencia: un viejo coronel retirado va al puerto todos los viernes a esperar la llegada de la carta oficial que responda a la justa reclamacion de sus derechos por los servicios prestados a la patria. Pero la patria permanece muda.
This is Marquez's account of a real-life event. In 1955, eight crew members of the destroyer Caldas, were swept into the Caribbean Sea. The sole survivor, Luis Alejandro Belasco, told the true version of the events to Marquez, causing great scandal at the time.
