Not long ago I discovered that my leisure readings are deeply connected to Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I search for any novel that I can find and I am eager to discover a totally different world from the one described in his other writings. The Columbian author lets go of all his "demons" and proudly exploits his latin roots in creating incredible works, books that take the reader into a passionate Universe, dispared from reality, stories that happen in times controlled by human senses, love, divinity and ancient traditions and superstitions. His characters seem to follow the path which it was written for them, never in contradiction with their South American background. The Nobel prize winner succeeds to bring his readers into surreal worlds, that have a positive effect on their psychic. When reading Marquez is like a trip to the Caribbean, as I like to say. Along with his stories, he brings a flow of "corazon caliente", "una vida llena de passion".
I recommend his lecture begins with his autobiography, "Living to tell the tale", for an introduction in his world. Then, the paramount "One hundred years of solitude" is a must-read. Though you may not identify any element of your daily life in it, Macondo will grow as an ideal place to live. By approaching the same style in different stories, Marquez gets to be true nutrition for your spirit. A brilliant storyteller will reveal to you, allowing you to take a bite of every piece of South America: traditions, names, fiestas... a warm lifestyle. A man born with such a prodigious talent: telling tales.
