The Road to Macondo

Gabriel Garcia Marquez – the greatest writer of the 20th century, Nobel Prize laureate, author of world-famous novels "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Love in the Time of Cholera", and "Autumn of the Patriarch". Garcia Marquez repeatedly stated that in... order to write a book, you must first understand how to write it, and only then sit down at the typewriter. He “lived” in Macondo for more than fifteen years before he could write his main novel, the literary miracle of all time – "One Hundred Years of Solitude". The proposed anthology allows the reader to trace the path that the author felt his way through, to see how the magical universe of Macondo gradually took shape, from the first sketches of 1950 to the novel "The Scourged Time", which became a kind of prelude to the novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
