El amor en los tiempos del cólera

2016

Novels in Latin America emerge in post independent times when the inhabitants of the continent begin nation building. The entire continent however slips into great political turmoil due to anarchism unleashed by dictatorial regimes. Intellectuals propose that writing novels would save nations and that the more novels that got written the stronger would the nations emerge. These novels have been called as the foundational novels and are premised on romances between white males and indigenous colored women who supposedly “civilize” the “barbaric” through a sacred Christian marriage. Such love stories actually took off from Sarmiento’s Civilization-Barbarism political debates last century and stretched on till mid twentieth century. Garcia Marquez’s love stories take off against such foundational narratives to expose instead the falsity of such myths. This paper proposes to look at three novels to trace how different love stories premised on the social trappings of incestuous relations...

García Márquez’s final full length novel, Del amor y otros demonios (1994), presents various difficulties to the reader. The novel’s layers of symbolism are readily identifiable with references in the novel to Roman Catholic hagiographies in juxtaposition to qualities and characteristics of the Orishas of the Yoruba Tradition. The period of the novel corresponds temporally with the formation of the syncretic religion known as Santería. The author’s use of period techniques such as conceptismo emphasizes the baroque era on a structural level. Furthermore, conceptismo plays a major role in the evolution of themes in the novel, which on final analysis shows distinct parallels with one of the earliest hagiographies of the Roman Catholic corpus. At the same moment, the strings of metaphors and doubling of motifs may also point to extraliterary texts. Those points stated, the novel’s African influences may be traced back to one of the author’s first stories, “Nabo el negro que hizo esperar a los ángeles” (1951), not merely as a reiteration of themes but as a means of analyzing the earlier piece with a more complete view of the author’s aesthetic trajectory. This leads to a clearer understanding of the place of Afro- Caribbean religion in García Márquez’s works as well as the ultimate refinement of his technical abilities as a novelist.

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature, 1990

The two male protagonists of García Márquez's novel, Dr. Urbino and Florentino Ariza (whose lives are linked by their relationship to Fermina Daza), enact to the limit nineteenth century ideologies of scientific progress and romanticism. The anachronistic plot of romantic love taken to the point of parody is deployed by the author as a critique of fin de siècle modernity.

He has been recipient of many global honours, the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature are a couple of these. Coined by Canadian literary theorist Linda Hutcheon, Historiographic metafiction is a term utilized for works of fiction which join the artistic gadgets of metafiction with historic fiction. The term is intently connected with works of postmodern writing, generally books. As indicated by Hutcheon, in-A Poetics of Postmodernism‖, works of historiographic metafiction are-those well-known and popular novels which are both intensely self-reflexive and yet paradoxically also lay claim to historical events and personages.‖ Magical realism is a way to deal with writing that meshes dream and legend into regular day to day existence. In the realm of mystical authenticity, the customary ends up exceptional and the supernatural winds up typical.-Marvellous realism‖ or-fantastic realism‖, as it is otherwise known, magical realism is not a style or a class to such an extent as a method for scrutinizing the idea of the real world. In books, stories, verse, plays, and film, truthful story and far-flung dreams join to uncover bits of knowledge about society and human instinct. Marquez uses certain intricate devices to get his message through. This study aims to discover and relate the stylistic devices Gabriel Garcia Marquez used in his work and the purpose behind using these specific devices.
