Gabriel García Márquez
Latin-American journalist, novelist and short story writer, a central figure in the so-called Magic Realism movement. The term was first used in the 1920 s Germany to describe some contemporary painters, whose works expressed surrealistic visions. In the late 1940 s the term was applied to literature by Cuban novelist Alejo Carpentier, who used the concept "lo real maravilloso" (marvelous reality). He recognized the tendency of Latin. American writers to combine fantasy elements and mythology with otherwise realistic fiction. However, García Márquez has considered himself fundamentally a realist who writes about Columbian and Latin American reality exactly as he has observed it.
Gabriel García Márquez was born in Aracataca, in the "banana zone" of Columbia. His parents left him to be reared by his grandparents, and he learned the oral tradition from his grandmother during his childhood. García Márquez studied law and journalism at the National University in Bogóta and at the University of Cartagena. His first story, 'The Third Resignation', appeared in 1947. In the next year he started his career as a journalist and worked for the next 10 years in different towns in Latin America and Europe. García Márquez was an European correspond in Rome and Paris for the newspaper El Espectador in 1955, but lost his post when the newspaper was closed down by the dictator Rojas Pinilla. He was the founder of Prensa Latina, a Cuban press agency, and worked in Prensa Latina office in Havanna and New York.
