Gabriel Garca Mrquez was born in 1927 in the small town of Aracataca, situated in a tropical

region of northern Colombia, between the mountains and the Caribbean Sea. He grew up with
his maternal grandparent - his grandfather was a pensioned colonel from the civil war at the
beginning of the century. He went to a Jesuit college and began to read law, but his studies
were soon broken off for his work as a journalist. In 1954 he was sent to Rome* on an
assignment for his newspaper, and since then he has mostly lived abroad - in Paris, New York,
Barcelona and Mexico - in a more or less compulsory exile. Besides his large output of fiction
he has written screenplays and has continued to work as a journalist.

Gabriel Garca Mrquez learned to write at five years, in the Montessori school in Aracataca,
with the young and beautiful teacher Rosa Elena Fergusson, who fell in love: she was the first
woman disturbed him.

school.

Rosa Elena instilled punctuality and habit of writing directly on the pastern without draft.

Gabriel Garca Mrquez
The legendary Colombian author was born on March 6, 1927, to Gabriel Eligio Garca and Luisa
Santiaga Mrquez Iguarn. He sadly passed away in 2014 at the age of 87.

It's Gabriel Jos de la Concordia Garca Mrquez ,prefer The Great Gabo.

On December 8, 1982, Colombia's most famous son collected his Nobel Prize in Literature
dressed in the traditional dress of the Colombian Caribbean coast.

Gabriel Garca Mrquez learned to write at five years, in the Montessori school in Aracataca,
with the young and beautiful teacher Rosa Elena Fergusson, who fell in love: she was the first
woman disturbed him.

Each time you approached him want to kiss her, and just because watching it was warmly
school.

Rosa Elena instilled punctuality and habit of writing directly on the pastern without draft.

This small town in Colombia's Caribbean department of Magdalena is still visited today as the
great writer's birthplace. In fact, a referendum to change the town's name to Aracataca-
Macondo in 2006 (in honour of Gabo's most iconic literary 'pueblo') only failed because of low
voter turnout. He is still revered in his birthplace - the above photo shows his triumphant
return to Aracataca as an old man.

Leaf Storm (1955) was his favorite because he felt that it was the most sincere and
spontaneous." The novella took 7 years to find a publisher.
