Lorca: relación con los gitanos y negros. Proyecto Integrado 2012.hloko
Federico García Lorca had close relationships with gypsy and black communities in Spain and the United States. He was one of the first writers to recognize gypsies as an important but marginalized group in Andalusia. His works Romancero Gitano and Poema del Cante Jondo focused on celebrating gypsy culture and music. In New York, Lorca studied black communities in Harlem and was critical of the dehumanizing effects of capitalism in the city. His support for minority groups who faced repression may have contributed to his assassination during the Spanish Civil War.
Juan Rulfo was a Mexican writer born in 1917 who is renowned for his works that blend reality and fantasy. He published two short story collections and two novels, with his novel Pedro Páramo widely considered a masterpiece. Rulfo drew from his tragic childhood and experiences among rural communities to portray the hardships of peasant life in Mexico through his distinctive magical realist style. He received numerous honors for his influential yet brief literary career before his death in 1986.

2. BIOGRAPHY
• Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez was a Colombian novelist,
short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo
throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of
the 20th century, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for
Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature.
3. EARLY LIFE
• Gabriel García Márquez was born on 6 March 1927 in Aracataca, Colombia,
to Gabriel Eligio García and Luisa Santiaga Márquez.Soon after García
Márquez was born, his father became a pharmacist and moved, with his
wife, to Barranquilla, leaving young Gabito in Aracataca.He was raised by
his maternal grandparents, Doña Tranquilina Iguarán and Colonel Nicolás
Ricardo Márquez Mejía.In December 1936, his father took him and his
brother to Sincé, while in March 1937, his grandfather died; the family then
moved first (back) to Barranquilla and then on to Sucre, where his father.
4. JOURNALISM
• García Márquez began his career as a journalist while studying law at the
National University of Colombia. In 1948 and 1949 he wrote for El Universal in
Cartagena. Later, from 1950 until 1952, he wrote a "whimsical" column under
the name of "Septimus" for the local paper El Heraldo in Barranquilla.García
Márquez noted of his time at El Heraldo, "I'd write a piece and they'd pay
me three pesos for it, and maybe an editorial for another three."
5. MARRIAGE AND FAMILY
• García Márquez met Mercedes Barcha while she was in college; they
decided to wait for her to finish before getting married. When he was sent to
Europe as a foreign correspondent, Mercedes waited for him to return to
Barranquilla. They were finally wed in 1958. The following year, their first son,
Rodrigo García, now a television and film director, was born.In 1961, the
family traveled by Greyhound bus throughout the southern United States
and eventually settled in Mexico City.García Márquez had always wanted
to see the Southern United States because it inspired the writings of William
Faulkner.Three years later the couple's second son, Gonzalo, was born in
Mexico.Gonzalo is currently a graphic designer in Mexico City.
6. ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF
SOLITUDE
• Since García Márquez was eighteen, he had wanted to write a novel based on his
grandparents' house where he grew up. However, he struggled with finding an
appropriate tone and put off the idea until one day the answer hit him while driving
his family to Acapulco. He turned the car around and the family returned home so
he could begin writing. He sold his car so his family would have money to live on
while he wrote, but writing the novel took far longer than he expected, and he
wrote every day for eighteen months. His wife had to ask for food on credit from
their butcher and their baker as well as nine months of rent on credit from their
landlord. Fortunately, when the book was finally published in 1967 it became his
most commercially successful novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, which sold
more than 30 million copies. (Cien años de soledad) (1967; English translation by
Gregory Rabassa 1970). The story chronicles several generations of the Buendía
family from the time they founded the fictional South American village of Macondo,
through their trials and tribulations, instances of incest, births and deaths. The history
of Macondo is often generalized by critics to represent rural towns throughout Latin
America or at least near García Márquez's native Aracataca.
7. FAME
• After writing One Hundred Years of Solitude
García Márquez returned to Europe, this time
bringing along his family, to live in Barcelona,
Spain, for seven years. The international
recognition García Márquez earned with the
publication of the novel led to his ability to act as
a facilitator in several negotiations between the
Colombian government and the guerrillas,
including the former 19th of April Movement (M-
19), and the current FARC and ELN
organizations.The popularity of his writing also led
to friendships with powerful leaders, including one
with former Cuban president Fidel Castro, which
has been analyzed in Gabo and Fidel: Portrait of
a Friendship.It was during this time that he was
punched in the face by Mario Vargas Llosa in
what became one of the largest feuds in modern
literature. In an interview with Claudia Dreifus in
1982 García Márquez notes his relationship with
Castro is mostly based on literature: “Ours is an
intellectual friendship. It may not be widely known
that Fidel is a very cultured man. When we’re
together, we talk a great deal about literature.”
This relationship was criticized by Cuban exile
writer Reinaldo Arenas, in his 1992 memoir Antes
de que Anochezca (Before Night Falls).
8. FILM AND OPERA
• Critics often describe the language that García Márquez's imagination
produces as visual or graphic, and he himself explains each of his stories is
inspired by "a visual image," so it comes as no surprise that he had a long
and involved history with film. He was a film critic, he founded and served as
executive director of the Film Institute in Havana, was the head of the Latin
American Film Foundation, and wrote several screenplays. For his first script
he worked with Carlos Fuentes on Juan Rulfo's El gallo de oro. His other
screenplays include the films Tiempo de morir (1966) and Un señor muy viejo
con unas alas enormes (1988), as well as the television series Amores difíciles
(1991).
9. DECLINING HEALTH AND DEATH
• In 1999, García Márquez was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer.Chemotherapy
provided by a hospital in Los Angeles proved to be successful, and the illness went
into remission. This event prompted García Márquez to begin writing his memoirs: "I
reduced relations with my friends to a minimum, disconnected the telephone,
canceled the trips and all sorts of current and future plans", he told El Tiempo, the
Colombian newspaper, "...and locked myself in to write every day without
interruption." In 2002, three years later, he published Living to Tell the Tale (Vivir para
Contarla), the first volume in a projected trilogy of memoirs.
• In 2000, his impending death was incorrectly reported by Peruvian daily newspaper
La República. The next day other newspapers republished his alleged farewell
poem, "La Marioneta," but shortly afterwards García Márquez denied being the
author of the poem, which was determined to be the work of a Mexican
ventriloquist.
10. LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA
• Love in the Time of Cholera (El amor en los tiempos del cólera) was first
published in 1985. It is considered a non-traditional love story as "lovers find
love in their 'golden years'—in their seventies, when death is all around
them“.
• Love in the Time of Cholera is based on the stories of two couples. The young
love of Fermina Daza and Florentino Ariza is based on the love affair of
García Márquez's parents.
• However, as García Márquez explains in an interview: “The only difference is
[my parents] married. And as soon as they were married, they were no
longer interesting as literary figures."
11. CHRONICLE OF A DEATH
FORETOLD
• Chronicle of a Death Foretold (Crónica de una muerte anunciada)
recreates a murder that took place in Sucre, Colombia in 1951. The
character named Santiago Nasar is based on a good friend from García
Márquez's childhood, Cayetano Gentile Chimento.Pelayo classifies this novel
as a combination of journalism, realism and detective story.
• The plot of the novel revolves around Santiago Nasar's murder. The narrator
acts as a detective, uncovering the events of the murder second by
second.[66] Literary critic Ruben Pelayo notes that the story "unfolds in an
inverted fashion. Instead of moving forward... the plot moves backwards." In
the first chapter, the narrator tells the reader exactly who killed Santiago
Nasar and the rest of the book is left to unfold why.
12. LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA
• Love in the Time of Cholera (El amor en los tiempos del cólera) was first published in
1985. It is considered a non-traditional love story as "lovers find love in their 'golden
years'—in their seventies, when death is all around them".
• Love in the Time of Cholera is based on the stories of two couples. The young love of
Fermina Daza and Florentino Ariza is based on the love affair of García Márquez's
parents. However, as García Márquez explains in an interview: “The only difference is
[my parents] married. And as soon as they were married, they were no longer
interesting as literary figures."The love of old people is based on a newspaper story
about the death of two Americans, who were almost 80 years old, who met every
year in Acapulco. They were out in a boat one day and were murdered by the
boatman with his oars. García Márquez notes, "Through their death, the story of their
secret romance became known. I was fascinated by them. They were each married
to other people."
13. NEWS OF A KIDNAPPING
• News of a Kidnapping (Noticia de un secuestro) was first published in 1996. It
is a non-fiction book that examines a series of related kidnappings and
Narco-terrorist actions committed in the early 1990s in Colombia by the
Medellín Cartel, a drug cartel founded and operated by Pablo Escobar. The
text recounts the kidnapping, imprisonment, and eventual release of
prominent figures in Colombia, including politicians and members of the
press. The original idea of the book was proposed to García Márquez by the
former minister for education Maruja Pachón Castro and Colombian
diplomat Luis Alberto Villamizar Cárdenas, both of whom were among the
many victims of a Pablo Escobar's attempt to pressure the government to
stop his extradition by committing a series of kidnappings, murders and
terrorist actions.
14. LIVING TO TELL THE TALE AND
MEMORIES OF MY MELANCHOLY
WHORES
• In 2002, García Márquez published the memoir Vivir para contarla, the first of
a projected three-volume autobiography. Edith Grossman's English
translation, Living to Tell the Tale, was published in November 2003. October
2004 brought the publication of a novel, Memories of My Melancholy Whores
(Memoria de mis putas tristes), a love story that follows the romance of a 90-
year-old man and a pubescent concubine. Memories of My Melancholy
Whores caused controversy in Iran, where it was banned after an initial 5,000
copies were printed and sold.
15. DECLINING HEALTH
• In 1999, García Márquez was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer.
• This event prompted García Márquez to begin writing his memoirs: "I
reduced relations with my friends to a minimum, disconnected the
telephone, canceled the trips and all sorts of current and future plans“.
• In May 2008, it was announced that García Márquez was finishing a new
"novel of love" that had yet to be given a title, to be published by the end of
the year.
16. DEATH AND FUNERAL
• García Márquez died of pneumonia at the age of 87 on 17 April 2014 in
Mexico City. His death was confirmed by his relative Fernanda Familiar on
Twitter, and by his former editor Cristóbal Pera.
• The Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos mentioned: "One Hundred
Years of Solitude and sadness for the death of the greatest Colombian of all
time". The former Colombian president Álvaro Uribe Vélez said: "Master
García Márquez, thanks forever, millions of people in the planet fell in love
with our nation fascinated with your lines".At the time of his death, he had a
wife and two sons.
17. SOLITUDE
• The theme of solitude runs through much of García Márquez's works. As
Pelayo notes, "Love in the Time of Cholera, like all of Gabriel García
Márquez's work, explores the solitude of the individual and of
humankind...portrayed through the solitude of love and of being in love".
• In response to Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza's question, "If solitude is the theme of
all your books, where should we look for the roots of this over-riding emotion?
In your childhood perhaps?" García Márquez replied, "I think it's a problem
everybody has. Everyone has his own way and means of expressing it. The
feeling pervades the work of so many writers, although some of them may
express it unconsciously."
18. MACONDO
• Another important theme in many of García Márquez's work is the setting of
the village he calls Macondo. He uses his home town of Aracataca,
Colombia as a cultural, historical and geographical reference to create this
imaginary town, but the representation of the village is not limited to this
specific area. García Márquez shares, "Macondo is not so much a place as
a state of mind, which allows you to see what you want, and how you want
to see it."Even when his stories do not take place in Macondo, there is often
still a consistent lack of specificity to the location. So while they are often set
with "a Caribbean coastline and an Andean hinterland... [the settings are]
otherwise unspecified, in accordance with García Márquez's evident
attempt to capture a more general regional myth rather than give a
specific political analysis."This fictional town has become well known in the
literary world. As Stavans notes of Macondo, "its geography and inhabitants
constantly invoked by teachers, politicians, and tourdepictsist agents..."
makes it "...hard to believe it is a sheer fabrication." In Leaf Storm García
Márquez depicts the realities of the Banana Boom in Macondo, which
include a period of great wealth during the presence of the US companies
and a period of depression upon the departure of the American banana
companies. As well, Hundred Years of Solitude takes place in Macondo and
tells the complete history of the fictional town from its founding to its doom.
19. LA VIOLENCIA
• In several of García Márquez's works, including No One Writes to the Colonel, In Evil
Hour, and Leaf Storm, he referenced La Violencia (the violence), "a brutal civil war
between conservatives and liberals that lasted into the 1960s, causing the deaths of
several hundred thousand Colombians." Throughout all of his novels there are subtle
references to la violencia. For example, characters live under various unjust
situations like curfew, press censorship, and underground newspapers. In Evil Hour,
while not one of García Márquez's most famous novels, is notable for its portrayal of
la violencia with its "fragmented portrayal of social disintegration provoked by la
violencia". Although García Márquez did portray the corrupt nature and the
injustices of times like la violencia, he refused to use his work as a platform for
political propaganda. "For him, the duty of the revolutionary writer is to write well,
and the ideal novel is one that moves its reader by its political and social content,
and, at the same time, by its power to penetrate reality and expose its other side.
