Gabriel García Márquez Audiobook by Alex Omberg

About this audiobook

Magical Realism isn't fantasy; it is the brutal, beautiful reality of the Caribbean. This audiobook explores how Gabriel García Márquez transformed the "preposterous stories" of his grandmother into the definitive voice of Latin America. In this literary journey, you will discover: The Grandmother’s Secret: How a "brick face" storytelling style birthed a genre. Macondo’s Curse: The circular time and inevitable solitude of the Buendía family in One Hundred Years of Solitude. The Solitude of Power: The grotesque hyperbole of the eternal tyrant in The Autumn of the Patriarch. Fatalism & Fact: How journalism meets tragedy in Chronicle of a Death Foretold. The Physiology of Love: Aging, decay, and passion in Love in the Time of Cholera. Understand the Nobel Prize winner who gave a continent its narrative identity. Click Play to enter Macondo.
