He is perhaps the most acclaimed, revered and widely read writer of our time, and in this first volume of a planned trilogy, Gabriel Garcia Marquez begins to tell the story of his life. Living to Tell the Tale spans Marquez's life from his birth in 1927, through the beginning of his career as a writer, to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to the woman who would become his wife. It is a tale of people, places and events as they occur to him: family, work, politics, books and music, his beloved Columbia, parts of his history until now undisclosed and incidents that would later appear, transmuted and transposed in his fiction. A vivid, powerful, beguiling memoir that gives us the formation of Marquez as a writer and as a man. 'Marquez's greatest book...puts itself beyond category: fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, memoir, poetry, drama. As a reading experience it is completely magical' Observer 'A marvellous journey...never less than fascinating' Sunday Times 'Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it' Living to Tell the Tale spans Gabriel Garcia Marquez's life from his birth in Columbia in 1927, through his emerging career as a writer, up to the 1950s and his proposal to the woman who would become his wife. Insightful, daring and beguiling in equal measure, it charts how Garcia Marquez's astonishing early life influenced the man who, more than any other, has been hailed as the twentieth century's greatest and most-beloved writer. GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982, is the author of many novels and collections of stories, including One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera, The General in His Labyrinth, Strange Pilgrims, No One Writes to the Colonel and Of Love and Other Demons. He lives in Mexico City and Bogota.
