Hardback. Condizione: Fair. ?This is a beautiful farewell to two extraordinary people. It enthralled and moved me, and it will move and enthrall anyone who has ever entered the glorious literary world of Gabriel García Márquez.??Salman Rushdie?In A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes Rodrigo Garcia finds the words that cannot be said, the moments that signal all that is possible to know about the passage from life to death, from what love brings and the loss it leaves. With details as rich as any giant biography, you will find yourself grieving as you read, grateful for the profound art that remains a part of our cultural heritage.??Walter Mosley, New York Times bestselling author of Down the River Unto the Sea?An intensely personal reflection on [Garcia's] father's legacy and his family bonds, tender in its treatment and stirring in its brevity.??Booklist (starred review)The son of one of the greatest writers of our time?Nobel Prize winner and internationally bestselling icon Gabriel García Márquez?remembers his beloved father and mother in this tender memoir about love and loss.In March 2014, Gabriel García Márquez, one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century, came down with a cold. The woman who had been beside him for more than fifty years, his wife Mercedes Barcha, was not hopeful; her husband, affectionately known as ?Gabo,? was then nearly 87 and battling dementia. I don't think we'll get out of this one, she told their son Rodrigo. Hearing his mother?s words, Rodrigo wondered, ?Is this how the end begins? To make sense of events as they unfolded, he began to write the story of García Márquez?s final days. The result is this intimate and honest account that not only contemplates his father?s mortality but reveals his remarkable humanity.Both an illuminating memoir and a heartbreaking work of reportage, A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes transforms this towering genius from literary creator to protagonist, and paints a rich and revelatory portrait of a family coping with loss. At its center is a man at his most vulnerable, whose wry humor shines even as his lucidity wanes. Gabo savors affection and attention from those in his orbit, but wrestles with what he will lose?and what is already lost. Throughout his final journey is the charismatic Mercedes, his constant companion and the creative muse who was one of the foremost influences on Gabo?s life and his art.Bittersweet and insightful, surprising and powerful, A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes celebrates the formidable legacy of Rodrigo?s parents, offering an unprecedented look at the private family life of a literary giant. It is at once a gift to Gabriel García Márquez?s readers worldwide, and a grand tribute from a writer who knew him well. ?You read this short memoir with a feeling of deep gratitude. Yes, it is a moving homage by a son to his extraordinary parents, but also much more: it is a revelation of the hidden corners of a fascinating life. A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes is generous, unsentimental and wise.? ?Juan Gabriel Vásquez, author of The Sound of Things Falling?A warm homage filled with both fond and painful memories.? ?Kirkus  "Garcia?s limpid prose gazes calmly at death, registering pain but not being overcome by it . . . the result is a moving eulogy that will captivate fans of the literary lion." ? Publishers Weekly.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Finalista del 2021 National Book Critics Circle 2021 La crónica íntima de los últimos días de un genio.   En marzo de 2014, Gabriel García Márquez, probablemente el escritor más querido en lengua española del siglo XX, ya anciano y enfermo, cayó resfriado. «De esta no salimos», le dijo Mercedes Barcha, su esposa desde hacía más de cincuenta años, a Rodrigo, el hijo de ambos.  Estas páginas son la crónica más íntima y honesta de los últimos días de un genio, escrita con la asombrosa precisión y la distancia justa de un testigo de excepción: el propio Rodrigo.   Así   vemos   el   lado   más   humano   de   un   personaje universal y de la mujer en la que se fijó cuando era una niña de nueve años, que   le   acompañó   toda   la   vida   y   que   apenas   le sobrevivió   unos años, entreverado de recuerdos de   una vida irrepetible. La más hermosa despedida al hijo del telegrafista y su esposa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Finalist of the 2021 National Book Critics Circle This is the intimate account of a great genius' last days. In March 2014, Gabriel García Márquez, probably the most beloved Spanish language writer of the 20th century, at that time elderly and ill, came down with a cold. "I don't think we'll get out of this one," Mercedes Barcha, his wife of over fifty years, told Rodrigo, their son. These pages are the most intimate and honest accounts of the last days of that genius' life. It is written with amazing meticulousness and with just the right amount of distance by an exceptional witness: Rodrigo himself. Thus we see the most human side of a universal figure and of the woman he laid his eyes on when they were both very young, the woman who accompanied him his entire life and who barely survived him for a few years after his death, peppered with memories of a unique life. This is the most beautiful farewell to the telegrapher's son and his wife.…
