short stories, he also wrote non-fiction narratives, speeches, reports, film reviews

Magdalena -Colombia, nicknamed "Gabo" by his fans and followers.
Gabriel García Márquez had a fascination for reading and creativity that developed
at a young age thanks to
His maternal grandparents because his parents moved to Barranquilla leaving him
in the care of Colonel Márquez, who was an excellent storyteller and taught "Gabo"
to consult encyclopedias and dictionaries.
His maternal grandmother, was also fond of reading fiction and taught him many
different stories that later became part of his inspiration for the multitude of stories
of the author that was reflected in his first book "One Hundred Years of Solitude",
which broke international barriers.
At school the other children teased him for his poor ability for sports and his
fascination for books and at that time he was nicknamed "the old man," besides
that at the age of thirteen he fell in love and managed to conquer Mercedes Barcha
with whom he married when he finished his studies in 1958.
In 1959 Gabo had his first son Rodrigo, and two years later he moved to New York
to work as a correspondent for a Latin news newspaper. By this time Marquez had
written his first three novels, La Hojarasca-1955, El Coronel No Have Who Writes
to Him-1961, and La Mala Hora in 1962.
Five years later Gabo wrote his fourth novel changing his life, since by then he was
already a well-

traveled man and decided to live with his wife and children permanently in Mexico
City where he wrote and published "One Hundred Years of Solitude", nominating it
for four international awards and receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature.
From then on Gabo wrote several classics in which "Memorias de mis putas
tristes" (2004) was his last novel since in 1999 in Mexico City they detected a
cancer that puts his health at risk and stops writing, finally in 2014 he dies leaving
his subjects who pay tribute to one of the greatest minds of literature of the
twentieth century.
