Description: First American Edition. Signed and dated by Gabriel Garcia Marquez on the title page. Fictionalized account of the last seven months of Simon Bolivar, liberator and leader of Gran Colombia. The book traces Bolivar's final journey from Bogota to the Caribbean coastline of Colombia in his attempt to leave South America for exile in Europe. Breaking with the traditional heroic portrayal of Bolivar El Libertador, Garcia Marquez (1927-2014) depicts a pathetic protagonist, a prematurely aged man who is physically ill and mentally exhausted. The story explores the labyrinth of Bolivar's life through the narrative of his memories, in which "despair, sickness, and death inevitably win out over love, health, and life." Translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman. Octavo. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.

Description: Signed limited first edition of this "fascinating tour de force and a moving tribute to an extraordinary manâ (Margaret Atwood, New York Times Book Review). Octavo, bound in full leather. Boldly signed by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. One of 350 copies, this is number 44. Fine in a fine slipcase. Translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman. Simon BolÃvar, known in six Latin American countries as the Liberator, is one of the most revered heroes of the western hemisphere; in GarcÃa Márquezâs brilliant reimagining he is magnificently flawed as well. The novel follows BolÃvar as he takes his final journey in 1830 down the Magdalena River toward the sea, revisiting the scenes of his former glory and lamenting his lost dream of an alliance of American nations. Forced from power, dogged by assassins, and prematurely aged and wasted by a fatal illness, the General is still a remarkably vital and mercurial man. He seems to remain alive by the sheer force of will that led him to so many victories in the battlefields and love affairs of his past. As he wanders in the labyrinth of his failing powersâ"and still-powerful memoriesâ"he defies his impending death until the last. âPassage after passage shines with the brilliance of GarcÃa Márquezâ¦He has invented some of the magic characters of our age. His General, however, is not only magic, but real" (The Wall Street Journal).
