About the Book

Sobre el libro

García Márquez: El viaje a la semilla, la primera gran biografía sobre el Premio Nobel colombiano, que, desde su publicación en 1997, funda toda una saga de biografías suyas, tiene origen en dos preguntas que obsesionaron a Dasso Saldívar desde su juventud: ¿Quién es el hombre que escribió Cien años de soledad? ¿Cuál es la realidad histórica, cultural, familiar y personal que subyace en esta prodigiosa novela y en otros de sus grandes libros? En busca de respuesta, durante veinticinco años Saldívar viajó a los lugares esenciales de García Márquez, conversó con el escritor, sus padres, sus hermanos, sus familiares y sus amigos y colegas, como Carlos Fuentes, Álvaro Mutis y Rafael Escalona, realizó centenares de entrevistas, indagó en hemerotecas y archivos de Colombia, México, Cuba, España y Francia. El resultado es una biografía pionera e iluminadora sobre la vida y la obra de un escritor que a todos nos fascina con su invención y su genio.

Comentarios

"He tenido que leer tu libro durante tres noches seguidas, sin poder dejarlo. Es un gran libro, no sé cómo lo has hecho. Está muy bien documentado y escrito, y me gusta porque es la biografía que se parece a mí."
Gabriel García Márquez a Dasso Saldívar
"Si hubiera leído antes El viaje a la semilla, no habría escrito mis memorias."
Gabriel García Márquez a Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza
"Sinceramente creo que aunque se escribirán muchas biografías de Gabo, y aunque Gabo mismo nos ha contado en sus memorias los hechos que Dasso historió con fervor, es difícil que otro biógrafo logre darnos el soplo torrencial de ese viento de milagros poéticos que es la vida de García Márquez, y trasmitir el embrujo del mundo al que Gabo pertenece."
William Ospina
"Una biografía oportuna, amena y minuciosamente contada en 600 entretenidas páginas."
Antonio Skármeta
"Saldívar realiza una labor digna de elogio al separar la realidad de la ficción, en una vida pletórica de anécdotas. Un biografía exhaustiva y fascinante."
Jonathan Holland, The European Magazine
"Dasso Saldívar ofrece un trabajo extremadamente difícil y complejo, y su objetivo es uno: que cada palabra, cada frase, cada párrafo, sea un acto de responsabilidad ante el biografiado, ante la historia, ante los lectores y ante sí mismo. Su actitud respecto al trabajo biográfico debe ser aprendida por los colegas chinos."
Lin Yi-an, Lectura China
"Al modo de los grandes biógrafos británicos, informado, minucioso, prolijo, Dasso Saldívar se demora en ese tiempo biográfico, con un hilo conductor: por qué, cómo y cuándo Gabriel García Márquez recupera el mundo mágico de su infancia, en casa de sus abuelos en Aracataca, en un prodigioso viaje a la semilla."
Luis Antonio de Villena, Qué Leer
