Synopsis "Noticia de un secuestro (2015) (in Spanish)"

«Antes de entrar en el automóvil miró por encima del hombro para estar segura de que nadie la acechaba. Eran las siete y cinco de la noche en Bogotá. Había oscurecido una hora antes, el Parque Nacional estaba mal iluminado y los árboles sin hojas tenían un perfil fantasmal contra el cielo turbio y triste, pero no había a la vista nada que temer».

Noticia de un secuestro devolvió la pluma de Gabriel García Márquez al periodismo, donde ha obtenido también reconocimiento unánime, y al terreno de la controversia política de actualidad. Los secuestros en 1990 de Maruja Pachón y otros periodistas y colaboradores a manos del cártel comandado por el legendario narcotraficante Pablo Escobar, contados aquí por todos los involucrados, constituyeron la más grave crisis nacional en un país ya convulsionado por la violencia de la guerrilla. El talento para narrar esta ordalía ha vuelto imperecederas estas páginas.

Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014), son of the Colombian Caribbean and immortal voice of Spanish narrative, is one of the most influential literary minds of the 20th century. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982, his talent transcended the boundaries of paper: he was a novelist, short story writer, essayist, screenwriter, film critic, and above all, a thinker committed to the pains and hopes of his homeland and all of Latin America. Architect of magical realism, he masterfully wove the everyday and the fantastic, making reality blur among yellow butterflies, eternal rains, and towns where the impossible was part of everyday life. His work gave life to a unique narrative universe, where history breathes, dreams, and bleeds intensely.

Among his most emblematic titles are One Hundred Years of Solitude, No One Writes to the Colonel, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, The General in His Labyrinth, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Strange Pilgrims, among others. In 2002 he opened the door to his memory with Living to Tell the Tale. In 2012, All the Stories were published, and, as if literary destiny refused to close the curtain on him, in 2024 his posthumous and unpublished novel See You in August was released.
