Camino a Macondo / The Road to Macondo

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Un fascinante recorrido literario a traves de las ficciones que contribuyeron a la construccion del espacio mitico de Cien anos de soledad.

…lo que hay entre La hojarasca y Cien anos de soledad son unos quince anos de fastidiarse mucho, de vivir mucho y de estar pendiente de esto todos los dias, tratando de ver como eran las cosas. Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Garcia Marquez sostuvo en diversas oportunidades que para escribir un libro primero habia que aprender a escribirlo y, solo entonces, enfrentarse a la maquina de escribir. A el le tomo casi veinte anos vivir en Macondo, para aprender a escribir ese portento de la literatura de todos los tiempos que es Cien anos de soledad. Esta antologia, realizada con el animo de rastrear la andadura del escritor, compila todos los textos publicados en los que ese universo mitico fue tomando forma. Desde sus apuntes para una novela de 1950 y primeros relatos, hasta La hojarasca, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba y La mala hora en 1966, en lo que supone la efervescente antesala a la creacion de Cien anos de soledad.

Bienvenido, lector, a este Camino a Macondo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A fascinating literary journey through the fictions that helped build the mythical space of One Hundred Years of Solitude.

…between Leaf Storm and One Hundred Years of Solitude there are about fifteen years of hard work, hard living, and keeping tabs on it every day, trying to see how things were. -Gabriel Garcia Marquez

On several occasions, Garcia Marquez stated that to write a book first you must learn how to write it, and only then could you face the typewriter. He lived almost twenty years in Macondo before he could write the all-time literary marvel that is One Hundred Years of Solitude. This anthology, compiled in an effort to track the writer’s path, includes each published work where the mythical universe slowly took shape, from his notes for a 1950 novel and his first short stories, to Leaf Storm, No One Writes to the Colonel, and Evil Hour in 1966, what was apparently the prelude to creating One Hundred Years of Solitude.
