In his lifetime, Gabriel García Márquez decided that his final novel should not be published. The Columbian writer — one of the greatest of the 20th century, author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and winner of the Nobel Prize in 1982 — had been living with dementia, although he continued to work. After his death in 2014 at the age of 87, this final manuscript joined his archive at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, remaining hidden from view, in accordance with his wishes.
加布里埃爾?加西亞?馬爾克斯(Gabriel García Márquez)在世的時(shí)候決定,他的最后一部小說不應(yīng)該出版。這位哥倫比亞作家是20世紀(jì)最偉大的作家之一,其著作包括《百年孤獨(dú)》,并在1982年獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)(Nobel Prize)。在患上老年癡呆癥后,他仍然繼續(xù)工作。2014年,他在87歲的年齡去世后,按照他的意愿,這份最后的手稿加入了他在德州大學(xué)哈里?蘭森中心的檔案館,一直隱藏在公眾視野之外。
