Description
Gabriel García Márquez recounts his personal experience of returning to the house in which he grew up and the memories that this visit conjured. At twenty-three, he was a young man experimenting with his writing when his mother asked him to accompany her to sell the family home.
This memoir is the first part of García Márquez's journey back to the atmosphere and influences that shaped his formidable imagination and formed the basis of his world-famous fiction. The result is a treasure trove of memories, a discovery of a lost land that no one else could find.
