Gabriel Garcia Marquez, nacido en Colombia, fue una de las figuras mas importantes e influyentes de la literatura universal. Ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura, fue ademas cuentista, ensayista, critico cinematografico, autor de guiones y, sobre todo, intelectual comprometido con los grandes problemas de nuestro tiempo, en primer termino con los que afectaban a su amada Colombia y a Hispanoamerica en general. Maxima figura del realismo magico, fue en definitiva el hacedor de uno de los mundos narrativos mas densos de significados que ha dado la lengua espanola en el siglo xx. Entre sus obras mas importantes se encuentran las novelas Cien anos de soledad, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba, Cronica de una muerte anunciada, La mala hora, El general en su laberinto, El amor en los tiempos del colera, Memoria de mis putas tristes, el libro de relatos Doce cuentos peregrinos, la primera parte de su autobiografia, Vivir para contarla, y sus discursos reunidos, Yo no vengo a decir un discurso. Fallecio en 2014.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Gabriel García Márquez has been described as the greatest writer in Spanish since Cervantes, and El coronel no tiene quien le escriba is considered to be one of his best works. This reflective and atmospheric novel is set in a small Colombian town where the frustrated and stubborn Colonel, a veteran of the 'War of a Thousand Days', is still, after thirty years, waiting for the letter authorising payment of his war pension. The old soldier and his wife mourn the brutal killing of their only son, and the story of their struggle against poverty and sickness culminates in the Colonel's defiant refusal to part with his cherished fighting cock, however serious the consequences. The moving narrative pays tribute to the resilience of human nature and man's will to survive in the face of heavy odds. The novel also throws light on the turbulent religious and political troubles in Latin America. Now revised to include an updated chronology and bibliography, Giovanni Pontiero's acclaimed critical edition provides English-speaking students with an introduction to, and notes on the text, and a selected vocabulary.
