It spans Gabriel García Márquez’s life from his birth in 1927 through the start of his career as a writer to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to the woman who would become his wife. It has the shape, the quality, and the vividness of a conversation with the reader—a tale of people, places, and events as they occur to him: the colorful stories of his eccentric family members; the great influence of his mother and maternal grandfather; his consuming career in journalism, and the friends and mentors who encouraged him; the myths and mysteries of his beloved Colombia; personal details, undisclosed until now, that would appear later, transmuted and transposed, in his fiction; and, above all, his fervent desire to become a writer. And, as in his fiction, the narrator here is an inspired observer of the physical world, able to make clear the emotions and passions that lie at the heart of a life—in this instance, his own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiving to Tell the Tale\u003c\/i\u003e is a radiant, powerful, and beguiling memoir that gives us the formation of Gabriel García Márquez as a writer and as a man.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62342106808707,"sku":"9781400041343","price":26.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781400041343.jpg?v=1786172454","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/living-to-tell-the-tale-9781400041343","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
