Bøger af Gabriel García Márquez

100 års ensomhed er den fabulerende farverige og fantastiske krønike om den ensomt beliggende landsby Macondo og dens store Buendia-slægt med dens mangfoldige skæbner.Det er ægteparret José og Ursula Buendia, fætter og kusine, som engang i 1800-tallets begyndelse grundlægger flækken. Márquez befolker den med en broget skare af lidenskabelige kvinder, eventyrlystne mænd, pjaltede sigøjnere og hvileløse ånder. Trods frygten for indavl drages slægtens mænd på forunderlig vis generation efter generation mod slægtens kvinder alt imens moderne landvindinger på godt og ondt trænger sig på udefra. Men Buendia-familien er underlagt den skæbne, som bogens titel hentyder til: menneskets ensomhed.Under magien og fablen finder man Márquez’ indignation over socialuretfærdighed og hans litterære protest mod de politiske forhold.PRESSEN SKREV:»»100 års ensomhed« rummer en strøm af sanselighed, humor og vidtfavnende kreativitet. Man fornemmer duften af oregano og overvældes af fantasirigdommen.« ***** – Eva Pohl, Berlingske 

Though little more than a settlement surrounded by mountains, Macondo has its wars and disasters, even its wonders and miracles. A microcosm of Columbian life, its secrets lie hidden, encoded in a book and only Aureliano Buendia can fathom its mysteries and reveal its shrouded destiny.

Nobelprisvinderen Gabriel García Márquez hylder fortællingen om den store og altfortærende kærlighed, men fremviser stadig den trussel, som tiden og hverdagen udgør mod den. Kærlighed i koleraens tid (1985) er historien om en kærlighed, der kunne vente 53 år, 7 måneder og 11 dage. Så langt tilbage ligger koleraens tid, hvor Florentino begyndte at elske Fermina, der dog giftede sig med en anden. Men han dør ... endelig. Da doktor Juvenal Urbino pinsedag falder død ned af en stige, under et forsøg på at fange sin undslupne papegøje, står en anden mand parat til at dele bord og seng med enken, Fermina Daza. Florentino Ariza har elsket hende lidenskabeligt – om end langt fra trofast – gennem hele livet. I deres ungdom forsmåede hun ham til fordel for doktoren. Det var på den tid, da koleraen hærgede. Og symptomerne på kærlighed og kolera er i alt væsentligt de samme. Bogen udkommer som en del af Rosinantes klassikerserie. »En fabelagtig fejring af de mange former for kærlighed, der eksisterer mellem mænd og kvinder.« – The Times »Genistreg af en bog« – Information

Florentino Ariza has never forgotten his first love. He has waited nearly a lifetime in silence since his beloved Fermina married another man. But now her husband is dead. Finally Florentino has another chance to declare his eternal passion and win her back. Will love that has survived half a century remain unrequited?

He makes a final journey down the Magdalene River, revisiting the cities along its shores, reliving the triumphs, passions and betrayals of his youth.

But on seeing this beautiful girl he falls deeply under her spell. His love for his 'Delgadina' causes him to recall all the women he has paid to perform acts of love.

Combining terror and nostalgia, surreal comedy and the poetry of the commonplace, this book is a triumph of storytelling by our writer.

In the book which put South America on the literary map, Marquez tells the haunting story of a community lost in the depths of that almighty continent where time passes slowly.

With the style and eloquent language that earned him the Nobel prize for literature, Marquez weaves a stunning story of glory and despair. Both real history and Marquez' imagination let us enter the world of Simon Bolivar, Liberator of South America, in all his humanity - good and evil.

Gabriel García Márquez has been described as the greatest writer in Spanish since Cervantes, and El coronel no tiene quien le escriba is considered to be one of his best works. This reflective and atmospheric novel is set in a small Colombian town where the frustrated and stubborn Colonel, a veteran of the 'War of a Thousand Days', is still, after thirty years, waiting for the letter authorising payment of his war pension.The old soldier and his wife mourn the brutal killing of their only son, and the story of their struggle against poverty and sickness culminates in the Colonel's defiant refusal to part with his cherished fighting cock, however serious the consequences.The moving narrative pays tribute to the resilience of human nature and man's will to survive in the face of heavy odds. The novel also throws light on the turbulent religious and political troubles in Latin America.Now revised to include an updated chronology and bibliography, Giovanni Pontiero's acclaimed critical edition provides English-speaking students with an introduction to, and notes on the text, and a selected vocabulary.

"The Blessed Mania of Telling Stories "gathers, next to "How to Tell a Story" and "I m in Rent for Dreaming," the experiences obtained in the Cinematographic Workshop coordinated by the Nobel Award of Literature.In this volume, Gabriel Garcia Marquez collects impressions on the act of telling stories. In the words of the very own Colombian narrator, the lineage of the griots and storytellers in markets and plazas is dealt and exalted, preserved and enriched; a lineage which is not doomed to spend one hundred years of solitude nor is it meant to suffer the curse of Babel. It s an indispensable book for those who want to become initiated in the art of writing, as well as for those who wish to understand the deep mechanisms ruling that art."

On this personal work, Garcia Marquez reveals some of the main keys in the creation of a text, as well as some elements of the complex process of the making of a story, of a fiction settled in words, and, at the same time, he shares some angles of his own creative work. In the words of the author himself: What matters most in this world to me is the creative process. What kind of mystery is such so that the simple desire of telling stories become a passion, so that a human being is willing to die for it; to starve, to freeze, anything, in order to be able to do one thing that cannot be seen nor touch and that, if you think of it, is good for nothing? "

Otra faz en la narrativa de Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Casi todas las obras de este gran autor se caracterizan por la presencia simultanea de ambitos aparentemente alejados entre si. -'Ademas de lo onirico y de la rareza individual- escribe Mario Vargas Llosa a proposito de Garcia Marquez- en este mundo en que lo social, lo politico y otros niveles objetivos (como el sexo) parecen arrolladores, tienen cabida hechos y situaciones que por su caracter insolito y pintoresco contrastan con los hechos opresivos, obvios y monotonos que constituye en la vida cotidiana... y sugieren la existencia de 'otra' realidad, menos previsible, en la que reinan la fantasia, la extravagancia, cierto tipo de humor. 'En ojos de perro azul el buceo de Garcia Marquez en esa 'otra' realidad es hondo y vertiginoso. Ya no se trata de revelarnos un aspecto de realidad placentero y risueno. Garcia Marquez nos enfrenta con esa presencia inevitable que es la muerte, descubriendola como una parte gemela de nuestro vivir. la muerte vislumbrada en los suenos y luego conocida como experiencia total del alma y del cuerpo la muerte como una constante inminencia que nos revela hasta que punto nuestro propio ser esta formado por aspectos distintos y nunca imaginados.

En Los funerales de la Mama Grande (1962) se reunen siete cuentos y la novela corta que da titulo al volumen, en la que se narran las fastuosas exequias de esa mujer muerta en olor de santidad a los noventa y dos anos de edad, autentica soberana de Macondo.

A dense jungle of magic and literary gusto pulls readers in and engulfs them with its richness and beauty. The 1982 winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature follows the history of several generations in the village of Macondo, and the passions, thoughts, and myths of a labyrinth of people, related and not.

Når talen falder på Gabriel García Márquez’ forfatterskab, er Beretning om et varslet mord kendt for den virtuositet hvormed plottet fortælles. Alle er med til bryllupsfesten i den lille by ved den caribiske kyst, men ud på natten bliver bruden leveret tilbage til sine forældre. Hun var ikke jomfru. Hendes brødre har intet andet valg end at hævne søsterens tabte ære. Den påståede skyldige, Santiago Nasar, skal dø. Læseren kender fra første linje den uafvendelige slutning, og den overlegent fortalte roman finder sin spænding i den stramme komposition, i oprulningen af mordet og i de afslørende spørgsmål der opstår: Hvem vidste at Santiago Nasar skulle dø? Hvad gjorde de med den viden? Hvorfor? Nobelprismodtageren Gabriel García Márquez slog igennem internationalt med slægtskrøniken Hundrede års ensomhed i 1967 og etablerede sig som en af verdenslitteraturens største forfattere. Han var et af de absolutte hovednavne i det latinamerikanske litterære boom i 1960’erne og i den magiske realisme, som der også findes træk af i Beretning om et varslet mord – en nyoversættelse af værket, som udkom første gang på dansk i 1982 og blev filmatiseret i 1987.

En rørende roman om kærlighed, begær og sorg af en af litteraturhistoriens store forfattere, udgivet ti år efter hans død.Ana Magdalena Bach sidder i baren på sit hotel på en caribisk ø og nyder stemningen, musikken og den varme, sydlige aftenluft.

Denne aften får hun øjenkontakt med en mand i baren, og en længe glemt lidenskab blusser op i hende. Hun er lykkeligt gift og har to børn med den eneste mand, hun nogensinde har elsket, men måske er det muligt at blive en anden, mere løssluppen udgave af sig selv, om det så bare er for en enkelt nat."Vi ses i august" er en fortættet fortælling om en kvindes begær og drømme, bekymringer og sorger, og om den længsel efter frihed og selvstændighed, som kun vokser sig større, hvis den ikke får lov at leve.
