El coronel no tiene quien le escriba

★【New elegant format, classic cover】
★ For fifty-six years, the only thing the colonel had done was wait.
"The Colonel and Nobody Writes" is García Márquez's most celebrated novella, standing alongside Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" in world literary history. Márquez himself believed that "The Colonel and Nobody Writes" surpassed "One Hundred Years of Solitude" in its artistic achievement.
★I've written "The Colonel Who Has No One Write" nine times. It's the most impeccable of all my works, ready to face any enemy. — Gabriel García Márquez★ Like Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea," "The Colonel Who Has No One Writes" is universally recognized as a masterpiece of a novella, its intense tension, careful pacing, and remarkable ending nearly perfect. — (Literary critic) Gerard Martin "The Colonel Who Has No One Writes" tells the story of a seventy-year-old colonel who, for fifty-six years, has been desperately waiting for his retirement pay while clinging to his dignity. This famous "Colonel Who Has No One Writes" has been hailed as "the most unforgettable character in 20th-century fiction," and the novel's ending has been hailed as "the most perfect passage in all of literature."
Reporter: Some people say that One Hundred Years of Solitude is an unsurpassed work, even by its author. What do you think?
Márquez: I surpassed it before it came out. In fact, I think my best work is "The Colonel Who Has No One to Write To."
★ "The Colonel Who No One Writes to" is a perfect masterpiece. -- Roberto Bolaño, author of "2666" ★ I think that in terms of narrative technique, "The Colonel Who No One Writes to" reached perfection many years ago (I have always considered it his best work). Even "One Hundred Years of Solitude" cannot surpass its shock. -- Ge Fei, a famous writer and scholar
