Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bajo el lema de estos funerales mitologicos, Gabriel Garcia Marquez reunio en 1962 siete relatos y la novela corta que da titulo al presente volumen, en el que aparece ya en todo su esplendor el elemento magico y telurico que a partir de entonces definiria su obra.Estamos en Macondo y su region una vez mas, entre personajes y episodios reconocibles, pero ahora caen pajaros muertos sobre el poblado, rompiendo mosquiteros y alambradas, un cura ve al diablo o afirma haber encontrado al judio errante, y visitar la tumba de un ser querido supone un riesgo impredecible. Y hay que enterrar a la Mama Grande, soberana absoluta de este mundo, que fallecio en olor de santidad a los noventa y dos anos, tras haber conservado la virginidad durante toda su vida, y a cuyos funerales acude el presidente de la Republica y hasta el Sumo Pontifice en su gondola papal, pero tambien guajiros, contrabandistas, arroceros, prostitutas, hechiceros y bananeros llegados para la ocasion.Esta es, incredulos del mundo entero, la veridica historia de la Mama Grande, soberana absoluta del reino de Macondo, que vivio en funcion de dominio durante 92 anos y murio en olor de santidad un martes de septiembre pasado, y a cuyos funerales vino en Sumo Pontifice.Rafael Conte ha dicho.El mayor juglar de nuestro tiempo, el hombre que por lo menos nos ha hecho menos infelices, o quiza rotundamente mas felices en estos tan infelices tiempos que nos ha tocado habitar.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Big Mama's Funeral is a long short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez that satirizes Latin American life and culture. It displays the exaggeration associated with magic realism. Most of the places' names mentioned come from Colombia, and "Big Mama" herself is an exaggeration of the 'cacique' (political boss), a familiar figure in Latin American history and tradition.In Big Mama's Funeral, we find ourselves in Macondo once again, among recognizable characters and events. The story centers around Big Mamas burial, absolute sovereign of this world, who died in holiness at the age of 92, after having preserved her virginity throughout her life, and whose funeral is attend by the President of the Republic and even the Supreme Pontiff, but also by peasants, smugglers, rice farmers, prostitutes, sorcerers, and banana growers.Under the motto of these mythological funerals, the author gathered seven stories, and also the novelle that gives this book its title, in which the magical elements, that would from then on define Garcia Marquez work, appear in all its splendor cohabiting with reality.
