Un fascinante recorrido literario a través de las ficciones que contribuyeron a la construcción del espacio mítico de Cien años de soledad. «...lo que hay entre La hojarasca y Cien años de soledad son unos quince años de fastidiarse mucho, de vivir mucho y de estar pendiente de esto todos los días, tratando de ver cómo eran las cosas.» Gabriel García Márquez García Márquez sostuvo en diversas oportunidades que para escribir un libro primero había que aprender a escribirlo y, solo entonces, enfrentarse a la máquina de escribir. A él le tomó casi veinte años "vivir" en Macondo, para aprender a escribir ese portento de la literatura de todos los tiempos que es Cien años de soledad. Esta antología, realizada con el ánimo de rastrear la andadura del escritor, compila todos los textos publicados en los que ese universo mítico 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 creación de Cien años de soledad.
Bienvenido, lector, a éste 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 García Márquez On several occasions, García Márquez 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. Welcome, reader, to The Road to Macondo.
