About This Item
Madrid: [Talleres de Graficas Luis Perez], 1962. First edition. Ejemplar de Editor no. 47 of 170 copies. 224, [1, imprint] pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Full marbled calf, red spine labels. Fine copy. First edition. Ejemplar de Editor no. 47 of 170 copies. 224, [1, imprint] pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Nice copy of this early work by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, issued in a very small limitation, 170 copies for the publisher and 50 copies for the author. A heavy-handed copy editor altered the text on route to the printer, a fact which Garcia-Marquez only noticed a year later; it was corrected in the second edition (1966), but may account for the fact that this presentation edition doesn't often turn up; we've only heard of a handful other copies of this ever passing through the trade.
Synopsis
Gabriel García Márquez , nacido en Colombia, fue una de las figuras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura universal. Ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura, fue además cuentista, ensayista, crítico cinematográfico, autor de guiones y, sobre todo, intelectual comprometido con los grandes problemas de nuestro tiempo, en primer término con los que afectaban a su amada Colombia y a Hispanoamérica en general. Máxima figura del realismo mágico, fue en definitiva el hacedor de uno de los mundos narrativos más densos de significados que ha dado la lengua española en el siglo xx. Entre sus obras más importantes se encuentran las novelas Cien años de soledad , El coronel no tiene quien le escriba , Crónica de una muerte anunciada , La mala hora , El general en su laberinto , El amor en los tiempos del cólera , Memoria de mis putas tristes , el libro de relatos Doce cuentos peregrinos , la primera parte de su autobiografía, Vivir para contarla , y sus discursos reunidos, Yo no vengo a decir un discurso . Falleció en 2014.
