Genre: Speeches Nonfiction
154 pages ISBN: 9788439723530
Although the title of this book suggests that what Gabriel García Márquez is not intended to give a speech, the truth is that what we find here is a collection of twenty-two speeches that the giant of Latin American literature has been given over of his life. Among the selected texts, we find the one he gave in 1982 when he delivered the Nobel Prize, one of 1944, while still a student 17 years old and already showed signs, a reflection of 1970 in Caracas, on how he began to write and even a clarion call to save the planet from abuse which are made from natural resources.
What we found in I am not here to say a speech are not merely reflected in the paper presentations, but they make an interesting addition to delve into the imagination of Gabriel García Márquez. In other words, behind these texts are good (and light) reports that let us know how you think Gabo and what motivates her writing. Especially successful is the speech in which he diagnosed the state of journalism ( Journalism: The best job in the world , 1996) and the wonderful speech-story I started writing (1970), which show precisely the capacity Colombian author to move between reality and fantasy.
Read some of the touches that make this picture. In The cataclysm of Damocles (1986), reflects how the Earth may have needed "three hundred eighty million years to make a rose with no other commitment than to be beautiful, and four geological eras to humans-a Unlike Pithecanthropus-great-grandfather were able to sing better than the birds and die for love "and instead now, at the age of science, we can destroy it all by pressing a button. This speech is not wasted, nor has Loneliness Latin America (1982):
These texts are filled with such good ideas, worth close to this book, especially if you are a faithful reader of García Márquez. Whether you have read his memoirs, Living to Tell (Mondadori), as if they preferred to stay at the level of fiction (the jewels that are Hundred Years of Solitude, Chronicle of a Death Foretold or Love in the Time of Cholera ) This book is a good complement to have in our library, next to their titles.

"Poets and beggars, warriors and scoundrels, all creatures of that unbridled reality, we had to ask very little to the imagination, because the biggest challenge for us has been the failure of conventional means to render our lives believable. This, friends, the crux of our solitude "
