Gabriel Garcia MarquezGabriel Garcia Marquez, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982, best known for his works, One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. His style of writing is associated with magical realism but Marquez did not so much create new universes but rather, suggested at the magical that exists in our world through his particular approach.
Perhaps this is unfortunate because it emphasizes the exotic in his works and fails to see that he is in fact, exposing psychological truths that are not or perhaps cannot, be expressed or understood by the old European modes of thought that tend toward the linear and overly rationale but perhaps at the loss of other types of insight?
His most famous novels include: - One Hundred Years of Solitude And if you want to cheat a bit, there's a number of films based on his books too: - Love in the Time of Cholera HAPPY READING! New! CommentsHave your say about what you just read! Leave me a comment in the box below. |
