Povestea târfelor mele triste by Gabriel García Márquez RO
Country: South America / Colombia
Colombia
Description:
In anul in care am implinit nouazeci de ani, am vrut sa-mi daruiesc o noapte de dragoste nebuna cu o adolescenta fecioara.” Aceasta e fraza cu care debuteaza romanul lui Garcia-Marquez. Un ziarist batrin decide sa-si sarbatoreasca a 90-a aniversare in stil mare, oferindu-si un cadou care il va face sa simta ca traieste: o adolescenta virgina. Intr-un bordel dintr-un oras pictural, o vede pe copila din spate, complet dezbracata, si viata sa se schimba radical. Acum, ca o cunoaste, simte ca ar putea muri, nu de batrinete, ci de dragoste.
„Povestea tirfelor mele triste” e pov... continue

Száz év magány by Gabriel García Márquez HU
Country: South America / Colombia
Colombia
Description:
Latin-Amerika nemcsak leghíresebb, de egyben legreprezentatívabb regényének színhelye Macondó, egy képzeletbeli, szinte meseszerű városka az őserdők mélyén, ahol a Buendíák évszázados történetét kísérhetjük figyelemmel. A városka előbb felvirágzik, majd elpusztul, de a Buendíák sorsa lényegében változatlan marad: gazdagon vagy nyomorral küzdve egyaránt a társtalanság, az egyhangúság ellen lázadnak, amelyből a család minden tagja csak egy kivezető utat talál: a szenvedély és a szerelem megváltó lehetőségét. Az eposzként hömpölygő mesében végül kipusztulnak ugyan a Buendíák, kihal a család, de a... continue

Ştiri despre o răpire by Gabriel García Márquez RO
Country: South America / Colombia
Colombia
Description:
Gabriel Garcia Marquez abordează istoria actuală a Columbiei, relatând sechestrarea a zece jurnalişti din ordinul lui Pablo Escobar, şeful cartelului de la Medellin. Faptele au loc într-un climat de puternice tensiuni sociale, marcat de ascensiunea traficanţilor de droguri. Cu măiestria sa narativă inconfundabilă, Garcia Marquez transformă un reportaj într-un roman-cronică dinamic şi documentat, care reflectă contradicţiile unei societăţi distruse de cel mai dăunator drog: puterea oferită de banii prea uşor obţinuţi.

Incredibila şi trista poveste a candidei Eréndira şi a bunicii fără suflet by Gabriel García Márquez RO
Country: South America / Colombia
Colombia
Description:
"În Incredibila şi trista poveste a candidei Eréndira şi a bunicii sale fără suflet, la fel ca în Un veac de singurătate, imaginile par a izvorî la fel de firesc ca florile silvestre într-un câmp mănos, după ploaie. Această capacitate uimitoare a lui García Márquez de a crea imagini (pe care, după spusele lui, a deprins-o de la bunica), nu se nutreşte dintr-o fantezie gratuită şi dezordonată, ci din toate manifestările şi caracteristicile care configurează culturile din zona Mării Caraibilor (printre acestea clima, geografia, organizarea ... continue
