It is hard now to recover the
thrill of underground
discovery, the hand-to-hand
ardour, the feeling of claim
engendered by A Hundred Years
of Solitude. But Love in the Time
of Cholera, like Autumn of the
Patriarch before it, gives us
something altogether new. With
gorgeous, lucent writing, full of
brilliant stops and
starts, majestic whirls, thrilling
endings, splendour and
humour, the magician of our
century takes on psychological
realism.
(M. Simpson, Love Letters, LRB)

… The boom of Latin American
literature began in 1963 with a novel
by an unknown writer called Mario
Vargas Llosa. (…) But the most
important voice, was García Márquez
with “One Hundred Years of Solitude”.
And every novel that he wrote
afterward was not only acclaimed by
the critics and translated, but they
were popular novels. It was like
reading Dickens or Balzac. People in
the streets read García Márquez.

… Every book García Márquez
wrote had popular acclaim.
So, in a way, he conquered
readers and conquered the
world and told the world
about us, Latin
Americans, and told us who
we are. In his pages, we saw

In Latin America, some
writers, have been elected
president. Writers are consulted
as if they were prophets or
astrologers. They are supposed to
know everything. …Somehow
writers summarize our reality, the
collective dreams, the collective
hopes, the fears. They give us
back our history, which is usually
magical and horrible.

I think that what happened
with magic realism and
why people all over the world
connected to it is because the
world and life are very
mysterious. We don’t control
anything. We have no
explanations for everything.
And we try to live in a controlled
world, because we feel safe.
Glossary:
• all over the world: d’arreu
• anything: res
• everything: tot
• life: vida
• magic realism: realisme màgic
• safe: segur/a

succeïr

• To try –ied –ied: intentar
• why: per què

… In “One Hundred Years of
Solitude” by Gabriel García
Marquez and the books that
followed, there was this
explosion of the
unbelievable, which is around
us all the time. And it’s an
acceptance that we don’t
control anything, there are no
explanations, that there is
something—there are spirits.

… Magic realism begins with the
conquistadors that came to Latin
America, and they were writing
these letters to the king or to Spain
in which they talk about a continent
that had fountains of youth, that
you could pick up the gold and the
diamonds from the floor, that
people had unicorns or had one foot
so big that at siesta time they would
raise it like a parasol to have shade…
This is in the conquistadors’ letters.

Mi años de soledad / One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel García Márquez read aloud in Spanish and
English by author Isabel Allende in DN, 18/04/2014
"Muchos años después, frente al pelotón
de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano
Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde
remota en que su padre lo llevó a
conocer el hielo. Macondo era entonces
una aldea de veinte casas de barro y
cañabrava construidas a la orilla de un
río de aguas diáfanas que se
precipitaban por un lecho de piedras
pulidas, blancas y enormes como huevos
prehistóricos. El mundo era tan
reciente, que muchas cosas carecían de
nombre, y para mencionarlas había que
señalarías con el dedo."
"Many years later, as he faced the
firing squad, Colonel Aureliano
Buendía was to remember that
distant afternoon when his father
took him to discover ice. At that
time Macondo was a village of
twenty adobe houses, built on the
bank of a river of clear water that
ran along a bed of polished
stones, which were white and
enormous, like prehistoric eggs.
The world was so recent that
many things lacked names, and in
order to indicate them it was
necessary to point."
