Dej muy claro Gabriel Garca Mrquez que el periodismo siempre fue su principal pasin, la ms perdurable y por la que quiso ser recordado: No quiero que se me recuerde por Cien aos de soledad, ni por el premio Nobel, sino por el peridico. [...] Nac periodista y hoy me siento ms reportero que nunca. Lo llevo en la sangre, me tira.Esta antologa pretende ser la muestra ms representativa de la tensin narrativa entre periodismo y literatura que recorri toda su trayectoria como reportero. Cubriendo cuatro dcadas, este delicioso viaje a travs de medio centenar de textos muestra como el mejor oficio del mundo est en el corazn de la obra del premio Nobel colombiano.Con edicin a cargo de Cristbal Pera y prlogo de Jon Lee Anderson, este volumen contiene piezas tan indispensables como los reportajes escritos desde Roma sobre la muerte de una joven italiana, suceso que permiti al autor pintar un fresco incomparable de las lites polticas y artsticas del pas en un marco de novela policiaca, crnicas sobre la vida tras el teln de acero, sobre la trata de blancas desde Pars hasta Amrica Latina o apuntes sobre Fidel Castro o Po XII. Encontramos tambin fragmentos tempranos en los que aparecen por primera vez las familias Buenda y Aracataca, junto con artculos que contemplan la poltica, la sociedad y la cultura bajo la luz slida, profunda y experimentada de ese gran contador de historias que siempre ser maestro de periodistas.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom one of the titans of twentiethcentury literature, collected here for the first time: a selection of his journalism from the late 1940s to the mid1980swork that he considered even more important to his legacy than his universally acclaimed works of fiction.'I don't want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize but rather for my journalism,' Gabriel Garca Mrquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his careeryears during which he worked as a fulltime, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla . . . his longer, more fictionlike reportage from Paris and Rome . . . his monthly columns for Spain's El Pas. And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to his fiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writer working at the profession he believed to be 'the best in the world.'
