Summary

Gabriel García Márquez: I did not come to give a speech

What am I doing who made it to this place of honor, I who have always considered giving a speech the most terrible of all human obligations?

The texts that Gabriel García Márquez (1927 - 2014) collected in this book were written by the author with the intention of reading them publicly, in front of an audience. They span almost his entire life. From the first speech he wrote at the age of seventeen to say goodbye to his classmates at the Zipaquira high school, to the one he read in front of the Language Academies and the Spanish royal couple, to mark his eightieth birthday.

These speeches of the Nobel Prize winner help us to understand his life more deeply and reveal to us his greatest obsessions as a writer and as a citizen. His ardent penchant for literature and journalism, his concern for the ecological disaster that threatens us. His proposal to simplify grammar, problems faced by his native Colombia, emotional memories of writer friends such as Julio Cortázar and Álvaro Mutis.

The reader now has in his hands indispensable reading that completes a narrative work that will have something to say to us for a long time.

About the author:

Gabriel García Márquez (1927 - 2014), born in Colombia. She is one of the greatest and most influential figures in world literature. Winner of the Nobel Prize in 1982. He is a novelist, author of short stories, essays, film critic, writer of film scripts. An intellectual dedicated to solving the great problems of our time. First of all, those that affect his beloved Colombia, but also the whole of Latin America. As the most prominent representative of the so-called magical realism, in which history and imagination intertwine and flow into a living literature that breathes through all its pores, he is, finally, the creator of one of the narrative worlds full of meaning that the Spanish language gave to the 20th century.

Among his most important works are One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Colonel has no one to write, Chronicle announced deaths, Evil fate, To the general in his labyrinth, a collection of short stories Twelve pilgrims and Love in the age of cholera. In 2002, he published the first part of his autobiography Living to be told,and his last book is I did not come to give a speech.
