Life is not the days we live, but the days we remember, the days we recreate in our memory in order to tell it.
Next month, I'll be twenty-three. I've just dropped out of law school, spending my time reading and memorizing poetry. I relentlessly smoke sixty cheap cigarettes a day, write a daily column for a pittance, and when the sun goes down, I just crash anywhere. My future is bleak, my life is a mess... My life is a mess of traps, excuses, fantasies, and countless temptations I must avoid: it seems I can do anything except being a writer.
Garcia Marquez was once poor, confused, and lacking courage, just like every young person who stumbles on the road to his dreams.
When faced with the challenges life threw at him, his answer was: live. Even when faced with despair and losing patience, he always maintained a sense of humor. He wrote "One Hundred Years of Solitude" at the age of 40 and won the Nobel Prize in Literature at the age of 55.

Living to Tell offers an incredibly vivid illustration of his novels. This autobiography is a treasure trove, a discovery of lost places we've long since lost. It's all there: the impoverished childhood, the wild nights in brothels, the insomnia and fear of the dark, the voracious reading, the incurable shyness, the unforgettable days in his twenties spent with friends in literary and journalism groups, the spelling riddled with errors. Facts and truth sometimes converge and sometimes diverge in a seductive dance. —The Times
This Nobel Prize-winning Colombian novelist has always insisted that he is not a magical realist, but rather a writer who fully exploits the rich reality of Latin America. After reading his memoir, "Living to Tell," you will agree. —Time Magazine The themes of his entire work did not come out of thin air but are rooted in his own life. —PA Mendoza (Márquez's friend and Colombian writer)
