Description Toward Books Living to Tell the Tale

He is perhaps the most acclaimed, revered and widely read writer of our time, and in this first volume of a planned trilogy, Gabriel Garcia Marquez begins to tell the story of his life. Living to Tell the Tale spans Marquez's life from his birth in 1927 through the beginning of his career as a writer to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to the woman who would become his wife. It is a tale of people, places and events as they occur to him: family, work, politics, books and music, his beloved Colombia, parts of his history until now undisclosed and incidents that would later appear, transmuted and transposed in his fiction. A vivid, powerful, beguiling memoir that gives us the formation of Marquez as a writer and as a man.

This book was written by my favorite author about being a great author. Perhaps, it is small-minded and greedy of me but, an overwhelming part of me just wants all that easy poetry without experiencing the mountain of work that it requires. It's similar to the reasons I go out to eat without needing to see the kitchen. Though at times, regret failing to do so.In the end, I'm glad to have read what makes this extraordinary man tick and found myself stalling so I could continue to read the memoir.

Fans of Marquez will be surprised to know that everything he has written before this was but a subset of this one book. Everything Marquez has written previously is contained within the pages of Living to Tell the Tale.This book is not a mere autobiography; this is a systematic deconstruction of his entire oeuvre, from what we thought to be high-fiction, into even higher nonfiction. No reading of Marquez will ever be complete without reference to Living to Tell the Tale.

I remember absolutely nothing from this book.

Like many voracious readers of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I was devastated by his death earlier this year, signaling as it did the end of an era; no more works would come from his inimitable pen. I stumbled upon Living to Tell the Tale in a bookshop in Paris and had to buy it. From the very first page, I was thoroughly enchanted.As warm and inviting as his best novels, and with the added thrill of knowing that at least half of it is true, this book is a masterful interweaving of Colombia's coming

this has been, without a doubt, the best autobiography that i have ever read. not only that it offers you an endless amount of details about Marquez himself and the influences that made him become a writer, it is also a fine analysis of the political and economical situation of the XXth century Columbia. Alternating between these two very interesting topics, Marquez makes the writer feel what he felt and see what he saw when he was younger. his life, like most lives of the biggest writers of our

The 6th book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014) that I've read. This is supposedly the first volume of this 3-part autobiography. I chose this over his other novels or novella in my to-be-read folder because he just recently died and so I thought I would like to know more about him by reading his autobiography. I am not sure if there is still the second or the third part of this autobiography. This book, published in 2002, was the last published non-fiction of him. For fiction, it was the
