Some Of The Most Profound Gabriel García Márquez Quotes For Your Soul

There are hardly any readers in the world who have not read, or at least heard of One Hundred Years Of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. The book has had a big influence on the world, and its readers, as well as, various prospective writers. Gabriel García Márquez, affectionately known as Gabo was born in Aracataca, Colombia and is considered to be one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, all thanks to his books that transcends a reader into the world of magic which was more real than anything else.

He isn’t the author who moves around fantasy which has been written and played by various prolific writers of our time, and before it too. ‘Magic Realism’ is a much better word for the world created by Gabriel García Márquez through which he transports his readers to a world in which they find themselves in the lush, humid tropics — moldering into solitude or being slowly consumed by the throes of passion.

He did it in One Hundred Years Of Solitude and then again in ‘Love In The Time Of Cholera’ and then again in various other works by him.

Many fellow writers from Latin America have often recited the rise and importance Gabriel García Márquez work has had on the readers in their part of the world, along with the rest. Many have even pronounced that no writer since Charles Dickens was so widely read, and so deeply loved, as Gabriel García Márquez.

The Spanish writer won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in 1972.
