After nine days of treatment, M\u00e1rquez\u00a0was released in a delicate state and died shortly after.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Only the millions of followers that read his books understand why today the world of literature is dressed in black. M\u00e1rquez\u00a0is considered the most significant author of this century in the Spanish literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Marquez with his two Nobel Prize winning books \u201cLove in the Time of Cholera\u201d and \u201cOne hundred Years of Solitude, was able to trap his readers and immerse them in what he calls the \u201cmagical realism\u201d. He was able to express the reality with a spark of magic, making his characters perceive the mystic as something normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even the greatest poets like Pablo Neruda, consider M\u00e1rquez&#8217;s Nobel Prize winning book \u201cOne hundred Years of Solitude\u201d the \u201cgreatest revelation in the Spanish language since the Don Quixote of Cervantes.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From the many books of Spanish literature that I have read, few have left me with such a remarkable message as \u201cOne hundred Years of Solitude\u201d. We should live life as if it is our last day on earth; each moment is valuable and leaves us something to learn. It is up to us if we want to live joyful or lonely.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By SOFIA ORTEGA \u201cSay yes, even if you are dying of fear, even if you are going to repent, because anyway you will regret a lifetime if you say no\u201d.
