The Art of Storytelling

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, a Nobel Prize laureate in literature, the author of novels such as «One Hundred Years of Solitude», «The Autumn of the Patriarch», «Love in the Time of... Cholera», and many other works. In 1986, he founded the International School of Cinema and Television in Cuba, and the following year opened special courses — the screenwriting workshop of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Together with young talented screenwriters, cinematographers, actors, and directors, the maestro created and analyzed various plots, magically transforming them into complete film scripts. The reader of the book «The Art of Storytelling» will not only get to know the great Colombian writer better, learn about his views on creativity and the tools he uses to construct his magical prose, but will also read intriguing stories that seem to have come straight from the pages of the inimitable Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novels.
