Gabriel García Márquez
Gabriel García Márquez was born in
Aracataca (Magdalena) on March 6, 1927. He grew up as an only child among his
maternal grandparents and his aunts, as his parents, the telegrapher Gabriel
Eligio García and Luisa Santiaga Márquez, went to live when the little one
Gabriel was only five years old, in the town of Sucre, where Don Gabriel Eligio
opened a pharmacy and Luisa Santiaga would give birth to most of the eleven
children of the couple.
García Márquez's grandparents were two very
particular characters and they marked the literary journey of the future Nobel
Prize winner: Colonel Nicolás Márquez, veteran of the Thousand Days War
(1899-1902), told Gabriel countless stories of his youth and of the civil wars
of the nineteenth century, took him to the circus and the cinema, and was his
umbilical cord with history and reality. Doña Tranquilina Iguarán, her blind
grandmother, spent her days telling fables and family legends, while organizing
the lives of the members of the house according to the messages she received in
dreams: she was the source of the magical, superstitious and supernatural
vision of reality. Among his aunts, the one who marked him the most was
Francisca, who wove her own shroud to end her life.
García Márquez continued his work
of transformation between the letters. In 1994, he founded the New
Ibero-American Journalism Foundation in Cartagena in search of a new
journalistic vision for the continent.
His idea of an ideal country was that of a Colombia where we feel proud of our work. That is why in 1993 he actively participated in the commission of the government of César Gaviria, to devise a country within the reach of children both in science and in the arts.
Our Colombian Nobel Prize today
is one of the reasons why thousands of tourists visit cities like Cartagena and
Barranquilla every year, in search of stories as fantastic and as unique as
those that could occur in their universal Macondo.
It was he who managed to describe
Colombia from its magical realism, bringing Colombian and popular culture to a
universal language.
For this reason, today Colombians
continue to say goodbye to one of their greatest representatives, showing the
world that his extensive literary and journalistic work is also part of
"The Good of Colombia."
