Until August

Gabriel García Márquez

The extraordinary rediscovered novel from the Nobel Prize–winning author of Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude Sitting alone beside the languorous blue waters of the lagoon,...on, Ana Magdalena Bach contemplates the men at the hotel bar. She has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels by ferry here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.     Across sultry Caribbean evenings full of salsa and boleros, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire and the fear hidden in her heart.     Constantly surprising, joyously sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, self-transformation, and the mysteries of love—an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.

Márquezovi synovia, správcovia jeho pozostalosti, nechceli nechať jeho dielo nezabudnuté, aj keď autor trpel postupnou strátou pamäti, čo ovplyvnilo kvalitu jeho posledného románu. Pre fanúšikov však môže byť stále príjemným čitateľským zážitkom. Osobne som si počas života Márquezove diela užíval a s radosťou som sa ponáral do jeho poetických obrazov. Moja knižná zbierka sa tak rozrástla o ďalšie dielo tohto kolumbijského autora, čo naplnilo moju čitateľskú srdcovku.
