Did you knowGabriel Garcia Marquez is a Colombian novelist and short-story author who is considered one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for Literature in 1982.
His two best known works are One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). These novels are written in the style made popular by “Gabo,” as he is known: magical realism, which combines magical elements in realistic settings and situations.
Gabriel Marquez’s political views were shaped by his grandfather, and he says that his grandmother was the inspirational “source of the magical, superstitious and supernatural view of reality.”
