A March 27, 1927, was born in the city of Aracataca in Colombia, the great Latin American writer Gabriel Garcia Marquéz, the juggler of words and the best exponent of magical realism.Today he is celebrating 91 years, if fulfilling, because although he physically died on April 17, 2014, his legacy remains more alive than ever and as long as we remember him he will always be alive.His grandmother Tranquilina used to tell him supernatural stories with total normality, something that somehow influenced him when it came to capturing that magical realism in his work. He discovered that he wanted to be a writer when he read The Metamorphosis of the great Czech writer Franz Kafka, where the transformation into an insect suffered by a cloth seller is narrated. Author among other great works, to which he dedicated a lot of time and dedication for his creation, One Hundred Years of Solitude, the most representative and which took 18 years to write, for The Patriarch's Autumn took 17 years and 27 to write Chronicle of An Annunciated Death, which narrated a very painful fact for him since it is based on the murder of a friend.
He also liked poetry.
If someone knocks on your door
one morning
sound of pigeons and bells
and you still believe in pain
and in poetry.
If even life is true
and the verse exists.
If someone knocks on your door
and are you sad.
Open what is love,
my friend.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Era muy supersticioso , necesitaba tener flores amarillas en su escritorio porque creía que le traían buena suerte, por el contrario no le gustaban los caracoles ni las flores plásticas porque son de mala suerte. Incluso cuando recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1982, a los 55 años fue vestido con un Liqui Liqui traje típico usado en Colombia y Venezuela ya que el frac también era considerado por el de mala suerte .
He was very superstitious, he needed to have yellow flowers on his desk because he thought they brought him good luck, on the contrary he did not like snails or plastic flowers because they are bad luck. Even when he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, at age 55 he was dressed in a typical Liqui Liqui suit used in Colombia and Venezuela since the tailcoat was also considered by the unlucky one.
I particularly met Gabo at the Liceo when they sent us to read One Hundred Years of Solitude and although it is not easy to read my captive, from that moment began my admiration, I invite you to read your books you will not regret.
Grateful for your attention and excuse, any mistake you may find use the google translator.
