1 ESSAY

THE BIGGEST BOOKS OF GABRIEL GARCÍA

Firstly, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of the best writers of Colombia. He has many books but the most important are “Cien Años de Soledad” and “El Amor en los Tiempos del Cólera”, both are very interesting and are the favorite of the public but it has some similar and different aspects. Moreover, the two books have a magical story where the characters make the book turn in to a special work, also, the plot is typical, the oldest families of Colombia and the geographical time develops on the Caribbean coast. But, between them there are different aspects, though they have the same author, like the drama, time, specially spaces and the main story. These are two typical and amazing books to read.

Furthermore, Cien Años de Soledad and El Amor en los Tiempos Del Cólera are magical stories about typical families of Colombia, both develop on the Caribbean coast and the two books turn environment to a social situation of the Colombian reality. Likewise, these books reflect a history of epoch when the country was in a process of evolution and where the classes were much more evident.

For example, while in Cien Años de Soledad the prominent figures are a poor family that live thinking a few autochthonous traditions and has to fulfill a magical thing written in the parchments of a gypsy. And another text is brings over a wealthy family that lives nearby the Magdalena and that has to confront the love and support it in the time of the cholera.

However, all the things are not similar. In contrast one with other, the first talking about the many hard things that the Buendia family has to live during 100 years. The second one is about a couple that fall in love when they were younger but they grow up and she is married with an important doctor. This is more a typical Colombian love story, the firs is more magic and traditional.

Though both develop in Caribbean coast, the territory that the first one includes is Aracataca and other one the coasts of Magdalena river. But these differences are text is the only and extraordinary. Also the two books turned into representatives of the Colombian literature.

Both texts are excellent and permit to know one of the best of Colombian writers, exist many books more that represent the Colombian culture. Though, Cien Años de Soledad y El Amor en el tiempo del Cólera are so similar also are so different but it is not an impediment to both are a biggest books of a biggest writer.
