Items related to Living to Tell the Tale
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 vision is quite the nearest thing to pure sensual pleasure that prose can offer -- Observer
Perhaps the greatest revelation in the Spanish language since Cervantes -- Pablo Neruda

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Condition: (see pics.) Some scuffing to the cover edges as the book has been read and does not look new, but is still in a very good, clean and tight condition. Synopsis: 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.
