Topic > 100 Years of Solitude Gabriel García Márquez - 793

I came to Comala because they told me that my father, a certain Pedro Páramo, lived here. My mother told me. And I promised him that I would visit him as soon as she died. I shook his hands as a sign that I would; Well, she was about to die and I was going to promise her everything. (Rulfo, 1). Mexican and writer, Juan Rulfo, undoubtedly one of the best writers that Mexico and Latin America have had, is part of the "Literary PreBoom" together with other authors with his second work "Pedro Páramo" which was one of the books best-selling in the world. On the other hand, Gabriel García Márquez, Colombian and Nobel Prize winner for literature (1982), for his work “100 Years of Solitude”. Both literary works show marginalization, lack of identity, social inequality and many social problems “In Latin America, the wonderful is found around every corner, in the disorder, in the picturesqueness of our cities... In our nature.. .AND. also in our history." (Carpenter, 1). The above, as Alejo Carpentier says, is magical realism, this method was used by both authors who describe in their novels how events were based on the time and country in which they lived and "paint" reality in a "magical" way ”. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a novel that describes two families who have things in common in one way or another that are passed down from generation to generation. Gabriel García Márquez, considered the author of the “Literary Boom”, focuses from my point of view on Aureliano Buendía and his life, which in my opinion constitutes a sort of biography of the character. “Many years later, in front of the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendìa had to remember that remote afternoon in which his father took him to... in the middle of the newspaper... in which they underwent the influence of Franz Kafka in his work” The Metamorphosis”. Although Juan Rulfo also inspired García Márquez for his great masterpiece which led him to win a Nobel Prize for Literature. With the method of “Magical Realism” García Márquez and Juan Rulfo created an environment in which the reality of that time became fantasy, taking us readers into a unique and imaginary world above reality.Bibliography.García Márquez, Gabriel, “ One Hundred Years of Solitude”, Buenos Aires, Arg., Sudamericano, 1967.Rulfo, Juan, “Pedro Páramo”, México DF, Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1955.BBC Mundo.
