Synopsis

This is the first authorized biography of Gabriel García Márquez, the 1982 Nobel Prize winner and one of the most celebrated international novelists of the last fifty years. Based on nearly two decades of research and hundreds of interviews, including with García Márquez himself, his family, and notable figures like Fidel Castro, this book reveals both the writer and the man. It chronicles his life from a shy boy in a small Colombian town to a provincial journalist, and ultimately to the acclaimed author of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' and other iconic works.
