Ah … Salman Rushdie says about the author of that novel, “The foremost author of magical realism in literature. The only possible response is gratitude. He is one of us… the greatest of all. “
Yes … he is the great writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez (nickname- Gabo; born 6 March 1927 – Died 17 April 2014).
* Congress of Colombia –
The signing of a peace treaty between Government & FARC is our best tribute to the author Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Gabo)
* President of Colombia –
Gabo was the architect of many peace efforts and processes. The best tribute to him would be the solution to Colombia’s half-century war. In honor of the author and his novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” … a peace treaty was signed with Colombia and Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC).
Guerrilla leader says Gabo has always wanted peace. We are saying again in the words of Aureliano Buendiar, “We will create the dream of peace … We will have a wonderful, peaceful country, where fish can be made from gold without destroying our environment.”
[ Aureliano Buendiar is a main character
in the novel “One Hundred Years
Of Solitude.” ]
