Mrs. Sundog will know him and will translate the text.
"García Márquez is probably Latin America's best-known writer, and is considered by many to be one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. Although he has written acclaimed non-fiction and short stories, he is best known for his novels, such as Cien años de soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude, published 1967) and El amor en los tiempos del cólera (Love in the Time of Cholera, published 1985). Credited with introducing the global public to magical realism, he has achieved both significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success.
García Márquez is also well-known for his political views. He is a personal friend of the Cuban leader Fidel Castro. He has expressed support for revolutionary movements in Latin America, and has been critical of politics in his native Colombia. He has facilitated negotiations between revolutionary and government groups in Latin America. He has also called for the independence of Puerto Rico from the United States."
I know he would be persona non grata on FR, but I know you will like the pics of Paris.
I did not translate the text on each slide, it seems that it is a friend recalling his philosophy and many of his sayings:
I have learned that when new born first tightens its small fist, on the father´s finger, he is trapped forever.
Hey, thanks Cardy. That was interesting to me because Jessie just headed to Paris yesterday for ten days on a school trip. They will be working their way down to Cannes and Monaco. They will be going up the Eiffel Tower at night and then taking a boat cruise down the Seine. They are going to the Louvre and Versailles. They will hit Provence and then the Riviera.
Did I see any of the places she’ll be seeing? (I can’t read the captions with most of the pics..lol.)
