Synopsis "Dos soledades (in Spanish)"

En septiembre de 1967, unos jóvenes Gabriel García Márquez y Mario Vargas Llosa se reunieron en Lima para hablar de literatura latinoamericana. El primero había vendido ya miles de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad. El segundo acababa de ganar el Premio Rómulo Gallegos por La casa verde. Hoy ambos son considerados universalmente dos de los máximos exponentes de la literatura en español, pero por aquel entonces eran dos jóvenes que estaban empezando su carrera como novelistas.En Dos soledades se sitúan frente a frente dos escritores, dos genios literarios, dos maneras diferentes de entender la literatura, dos temperamentos en cierto modo contradictorios, dos formas distintas de narrar. Son los tiempos en que el boom se está gestando, en los que todavía no se ha acuñado nombre para lo que hoy conocemos como «realismo mágico». En estas páginas apasionantes, el lector asiste a una conversación sin igual. La edición incorpora textos de Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Luis Rodríguez Pastor, José Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sán

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa (Arequipa, March 28, 1936), known as Mario Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquis of Vargas Llosa, is a Peruvian writer who also holds Spanish nationality since 1993 and Dominican nationality since June 2022. Considered one of the most important contemporary novelists and essayists, his works have received numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature 2010, the Cervantes Prize 1994 —considered the most important in the Spanish language—, the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature 1986, the Biblioteca Breve Prize 1962, the Rómulo Gallegos Prize 1967, and the Planeta Prize 1993, among others. Alongside Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, and Carlos Fuentes, he is one of the central figures of the Latin American boom

He rose to fame in the 1960s with novels such as The Time of the Hero (1963), The Green House (1966), and Conversation in the Cathedral (1969). He continued to prolifically cultivate various literary genres, such as essays, articles, and theater. Several of his works have been adapted into films and television. Most of his novels are set in Peru and explore his views on Peruvian society; however, in The War of the End of the World (1981), The Feast of the Goat (2000), and The Dream of the Celt (2010) he sets his plots in other countries.

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.
