Gabriel Garcia Marquez "No one writes to the Colonel"Gabriel Garcia Marquez is the greatest writer of the twentieth century, Nobel Prize winner, author of the world–famous novels "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Love during the Plague" and "Autumn of the Patriarch". Before publishing this novel, Gabriel Garcia Marquez rewrote it at least ten times, but the result was worth it: in terms of volume and power, it has no equal in all Latin American prose. In one of the Latin American countries, the government has once again changed, the next corrupt officials in the capital are once again making fortunes – and in a small provincial town, the hero of the long-past civil war, an elderly retired colonel, is dragging out a semi-impoverished existence.…A simple story about perseverance and honor in a world of universal indifference and arbitrariness.
