Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
"Pelayo (Latin American literature, Southern Connecticut State University) wrote this stirring biography of Columbian writer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez for high school students. However, unlike many such biographies, he doesn't patronize his readers, nor is this an unqualified panegyric of the subject. Marquez's life is told in clear prose with frequent references to characters and plots of his books, guaranteed to make his audience want to read them, too. Pelayo puts Marquez in the context of Columbian, South American and world politics. This book would be a fine introduction to the man and his writing for anyone. It is accompanied by a reading list, including Internet sources." - Reference & Research Book News
Master of magic realism, distinguished journalist and film critic, friend of world leaders ranging from Fidel Castro to Pres. Bill Clinton, Gabriel Garcia Marquez improbably emerged from obscure beginnings to become an author more beloved of readers worldwide than any other living writer. His plots and protean characters plunge readers into the world of fable, yet their universal appeal, as this biography shows, is deeply rooted in the particularity of Garcia Marquez's own idiosyncratic early life and his later wide travels, all undertaken with the restless curiosity and zest for life that he manages to evoke in his readers.
