Summary
Gabriel Garcia Marquez: The Eyes of a Blue Dog
The deceased who come to terms with death patiently listen to their growth, the beauty that climbs on the face of a female portrait with poisoned ancestral veins, unruly mirrors that add bloody scars to the face of a carefully shaved front from them, inscrutable sounds that threaten from the dark, smells that kill in a quiet fire and a whole series of nightmare-like horrors make up the accompanying images around which Gabriel García Márquez let his imagination run wild in his early works when he was only twenty years old. However, from these works also emerges an indomitable questioning about the nature of the seemingly established everyday world, as well as about the possibilities of searching it with words, whose action the author also examines with equal unrestrainedness. Floating corpses, endless rains and poisonous flowers are actually a playful means of a magical counter-attack on the metaphysics of real existence.
