Felesége, Mercedes Barcha, aki több mint ötven éve mellette volt, érezte, hogy ez nem egy szokványos nátha, és aggodalmát gyermekeikkel is megosztotta. A nagyobbik fiú, Rodrigo pedig dokumentálni kezdte édesapja utolsó napjait. A Búcsú Gabótól és Mercedestől egy végtelenül személyes memoár halálról, veszteségről, apai örökségről: közelebb hozza az olvasóhoz a világ egyik legnagyszerűbb íróját, és betekintést enged a kedves és fájdalmas családi emlékekbe. Rodrigo angol nyelven írta meg ezt a szöveget, ami szintén nem véletlen. A búcsúkönyv megmutatja azt is, hogyan és miért választott más művészeti ágat és más nyelvet egy világhírű ember fia. Salman Rushdie szerint Rodrigo García könyve mindenkit lenyűgöz és megindít, aki egyszer belépett Gabriel García Márquez dicsőséges irodalmi világába. A könyvben néhány, idehaza még ismeretlen családi fotó is helyet kapott. A very touching tribute to his parents by Rodrigo Garcia on the occasion of their deaths. His father just happens to be a literary GIANT of the 20th century. Rodrigo chronicles every small detail of first his father's and then his mother's death. Despite all the television cameras, this could be any son writing with love about his father. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Gabriel García Márquez is one of my very favorite writers and I loved this very human portrait of him. I'm sure there will be biographers galore writing about him for a very long time, but this portrait written by his son will always be special. 💜 nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"In March 2014, Gabriel Garca Mrquez, one of the most internationally beloved writers of the 20th century, came down with a cold. He was almost 87 years old, and battling dementia. 'I don't think we'll get out of this one,' Mercedes Barcha, his wife of over fifty years, told Rodrigo, their son. As reality begins to sink in, Rodrigo asks himself, 'Is this how the end begins?' Instead of waiting for an answer, Rodrigo starts to write about the beginning of the end. The resulting pages became A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes -- an intimate and honest account of the last days of a literary genius's life, written by an exceptional witness. Through Rodrigo's measured prose, we are not only reminded of an icon's mortality, but his remarkable humanity. We see the great writer--a master at creating the dramatic arc of an entire life on the page--become a tragic yet charming character of his own right as he and his family come to terms with the end. With A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes, Rodrigo has written not a novel, but a stunning work of reportage. The minute and major snapshots captured--Rodrigo and his brother's discomfort around the public interest in their father's state, Mercedes' reluctant deference to Gabriel's knowing aides, and Gabriel's wry humor at a vulnerable time, when his lucidity is waning--form a diary, distilled by distance and time, but invigorated by introspection. Gabriel savors affection and attention from those in his orbit, but wrestles with what he will lose and what is already lost. And almost always by his side is the charismatic Mercedes, his constant companion and creative muse. The book also honors Rodrigo's late mother, introducing readers to one of the foremost influences of his father's life. Bittersweet and insightful, 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 Garcia Marquez's loyal readers, and a grand act of generosity from a writer who knew the man better than most"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
