Synopsis "Discursos: William Faulkner, Pablo Neruda, Gabriel García Márquez, dor (in Spanish)"

En un sencillo estuche de cartón, rojo y negro, cinco libritos, que contienen las valiosas palabras de cinco gigantes de la literatura del siglo xx. Se trata de una edición que recoge cinco escritos, en su día pronunciados como discurso, de una serie de autores ganadores del premio Nobel: William Faulkner, Pablo Neruda, Gabriel García Márquez, Doris Lessing y John Coetzee. Doris Lessing rememora su estancia en Zimbabwe y se lamenta de la falta de libros para los niños nativos. Gabriel García Márquez propone un viaje por la historia maldita de América Latina y hace un brindis por la poesía. John Coetzee compone una pequeña obra de ficción en forma de discurso que recuerda las mejores claves de su narrativa. El libro de William Faulkner contiene el discurso del Nobel, en que habla del esfuerzo humano, y su discurso pronunciado en el Delta Council. Mientras que Neruda, en su parlamento, habla de un viaje al sur de Chile, una experiencia que proporciona las «dosis necesarias» para la creación poética.

William Faulkner (1897-1962) was an American writer noted for his contribution to modernist literature and the Southern Gothic genre. He is known for his innovative use of stream of consciousness, fragmented narratives, and exploration of the Southern United States. Among his most important works are The Sound and the Fury (1929), As I Lay Dying (1930), Absalom, Absalom! (1936), and Light in August (1932).

His literature, laden with symbolism and structural complexity, portrays the decay of the American South and its racial and social conflicts. In 1949, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature, establishing himself as one of the most influential figures in 20th-century narrative. He also won two Pulitzer Prizes for A Fable (1954) and The Reivers (1962).

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.
