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.

Relato de un naufrago by Gabriel García Márquez EN
Country: South America / Colombia
Colombia
Description:
Aunque conocida con este título abreviado, el verdadero título de esta obra, mucho más largo, resume perfectamente la Relato de un náufrago que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa sin comer ni beber, que fue proclamado héroe de la patria, besado por las reinas de la belleza y hecho rico por la publicidad, y luego aborrecido por el gobierno y olvidado para siempre. Publicado por entregas en El Espectador de Bogotá en 1955 y más tarde en libro (en 1970), no una novela, sino un reportaje periodístico que da cuenta de un suceso r... continue

Relatos de mar y tierra by Álvaro Mutis ES
Country: South America / Colombia
Colombia
Description:
Relatos de mar y de tierra agrupa una serie de obras breves publicadas por Alvaro Mutis a lo largo de varios años, y constituye una buena introducción a su obra (aunque es una selección de lo mejor).
Como toda recopilación tiene cierta irregularidad de estilo, calidad e interés, pero en general se trata de una buena obra. Destaco El último rostro (que inspiró El general en su laberinto, García Márquez) y La mansión de Araucaíma, una novela corta de estilo gótico.

Rosario Tijeras by Jorge Franco Ramos ES
Country: South America / Colombia
Colombia
Description:
"Since they shot her at point-blank range while she was being kissed, she confused the pain of love with that of death." Rosario Tijeras is the violent, violated character at the center of Jorge Franco's study of contrasts, set in self-destructing 1980s Medellín. Her very name-evoking the rosary, and scissors-bespeaks her conflict as a woman who becomes a contract killer to insulate herself from the random violence of the streets. Then she is shot, gravely wounded, and the circle of contradiction is closed. From the corridors of the hospital where Rosario is fighting for her life, Antonio, the... continue
