Synopsis "Cuentos (in Spanish)"

Gabriel GarcÃa MÃírquez siempre recordaba cÃ³mo su abuela le transmitiÃ³ la pasiÃ³n por las historias contÃíndole cuen tos cuando era pequeÃ±o y vivÃa con ella. Estos seis relato s, unidos por la presencia de un niÃ±o, contienen todo el im aginario del gran autor colombiano. Una mujer y su hija lleg an a un pueblo desierto para velar a un familiar difunto sin interrumpir la siesta de los habitantes. Un hombre con unas enormes alas de pÃíjaro se precipita desde el cielo, asombr ando a todo el vecindario. Dos niÃ±os consiguen inundar de l uz la ciudad de Madrid. Y en Barcelona, una prostituta que v a entrando en la vejez adiestra a su perro para llorar ante la tumba que ha escogido para sÃ misma. Estas conmovedoras historias estÃín acompaÃ±adas por la obra de la pintora Carm e SolÃ© Vendrell, premio Nacional de IlustraciÃ³n, que tiene el honor de ser la Ãºnica persona que dio vida a los cuento s de GarcÃa MÃírquez con el permiso del autor. Fieles a la magia de su prosa, las imÃígenes iluminan las delicadas refl exiones del premio Nobel sobre la infancia en estos relatos que tanto pequeÃ±os como mayores recordarÃín para siempre.

Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014), son of the Colombian Caribbean and immortal voice of Spanish narrative, is one of the most influential literary minds of the 20th century. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982, his talent transcended the boundaries of paper: he was a novelist, short story writer, essayist, screenwriter, film critic, and above all, a thinker committed to the pains and hopes of his homeland and all of Latin America. Architect of magical realism, he masterfully wove the everyday and the fantastic, making reality blur among yellow butterflies, eternal rains, and towns where the impossible was part of everyday life. His work gave life to a unique narrative universe, where history breathes, dreams, and bleeds intensely.

Among his most emblematic titles are One Hundred Years of Solitude, No One Writes to the Colonel, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, The General in His Labyrinth, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Strange Pilgrims, among others. In 2002 he opened the door to his memory with Living to Tell the Tale. In 2012, All the Stories were published, and, as if literary destiny refused to close the curtain on him, in 2024 his posthumous and unpublished novel See You in August was released.
