Translated from Spanish by Lana Kalandia
 

The book was eagerly awaited for many decades because it is about the alchemy of word and life. It tells about the real people, time and country which created Marquez’ word in the same way as Melquiades’ parchments shaped the destiny of the Buendia family. "Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it".

 

The autobiographical book opens the secret door into the greatest mystical aesthetics of the 20th century. It is a narrative which revives the characters from the author’s other books, the unforgettable images and their distant phantoms.  Marquez once said that the great books aren’t written only on paper; they are written by life itself, particularly at the time when one least expects them.
