Book Synopsis Gabriel García Márquez by : Gerald Martin
Download or read book Gabriel García Márquez written by Gerald Martin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exhaustive and enlightening biography—nearly two decades in the making—Gerald Martin dexterously traces the life and times of one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary titans, Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel García Márquez. Martin chronicles the particulars of an extraordinary life, from his upbringing in backwater Colombia and early journalism career, to the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude at age forty, and the wealth and fame that followed. Based on interviews with more than three hundred of Garcia Marquez’s closest friends, family members, fellow authors, and detractors—as well as the many hours Martin spent with ‘Gabo’ himself—the result is a revelation of both the writer and the man. It is as gripping as any of Gabriel García Márquez’s powerful journalism, as enthralling as any of his acclaimed and beloved fiction.
Download or read book Roque's Corner written by Mario T Garcia and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roque's Corner is an everyman's story about the underside of Santa Fe, one of the wealthiest and most visited cities in the Southwest and the art capital of the region. While many know this side of Santa Fe, they do not know the other side which is the Hispano/Chicano story. This book tells this story through the eyes of a remarkable individual, Roque García. Raised in Santa Fe by poor working class parents like many other Hispanos, Roque's story parallels the rise of Santa Fe to prominence, but reveals the key importance of working class Chicanos to this rise. A pioneer in the Chicano Movement in Santa Fe (about which little has been published), García worked in the land grant movement with Reies López Tijerina and participated in the historic Poor People's Campaign in Washington D.C. in 1968. As a social worker, community leader, and owner of his own food cart on the Santa Fe plaza, Roque García has witnessed the story of Santa Fe in the 20th century and now into the new millennium, but from his underdog position and perspective. He literally has seen much of this from his downtown corner where he sells his famous carnitas. Everyone in Santa Fe knows Roque and Roque knows everyone. He is a popular historian of Santa Fe through his memories. Based heavily on oral history to capture's Roque's narrative, as well as key primary sources, this book is a popular biography of a remarkable Santa Fean and Chicano.

Book Synopsis Traveling with Che Guevara by : Alberto Granado
Download or read book Traveling with Che Guevara written by Alberto Granado and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-05-21 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published for the first time in the U.S. - one of the two diaries on which the upcoming movie The Motorcycle Diaries is based - the moving and at times hilarious account of Che Guevara and Alberton Granado's eight-month tour of South America in 1952. In 1952 Alberto Granado, a young doctor, and his friend Ernesto Guevara, a 23-year-old medical student from a distinguished Buenos Aires family, decided to explore their continent. They set off from Cordoba in Agentina on a Norton 500cc motorbike traveled through Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. The duo's adventures vary from the suspenseful (stowing away on a cargo ship, exploring Incan ruins) to the comedic (falling in love, drinking, fighting...) to the serious (volunteering as firemen and at a leper colony). They worked as day laborers along the way - as soccer coaches, medical assistants, and furniture movers. The poverty and exploitation of the native population started the process that was to turn Ernesto - the debonair, fun-loving student - into Che, the revolutionary who had a profound impact on the history of several nations. Originally published in Spanish in Cuba in 1978, the first English translation was published by Random House UK in 2003. The movie, based on Granado's and Che's diaries, directed by Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun), was produced by Robert Redford and others. Shown at the Sundance Film Festival, it generated great reviews and a frenzied auction for distribution rights, which was won by Focus Features. Granado, now 82, was a consultant to Salles during the production.

Download or read book Tina Modotti written by Margaret Hooks and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2000-09-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the definitive portrayal of the brilliant, iconoclastic woman who throughout her life (1896–1942) oscillated between her passion for her art and her fervor for radical politics. Tracing Modotti from her early years in Italy to 1920s Hollywood, then to vibrant Mexico City and on to Berlin and Moscow, and eventually to war-torn Spain, Hooks magnificently portrays Modotti's tempestuous life—her romantic, artistic, and political liaisons with Edward Weston, Diego Rivera, and Pablo Neruda. Incorporating interviews with Modotti's contemporaries and new archival material, Tina Modotti dramatically revives a fascinating life and secures Modotti's rightful place alongside Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe as one of the most accomplished women artists of our era.
