In his lifetime, Gabriel García Márquez decided that his final novel should not be published.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.
加布里埃尔•加西亚•马尔克斯(Gabriel García Márquez)在世的时候决定,他的最后一部小说不应该出版。这位哥伦比亚作家是20世纪最伟大的作家之一,其著作包括《百年孤独》,并在1982年获得诺贝尔奖(Nobel Prize)。在患上老年痴呆症后,他仍然继续工作。2014年,他在87岁的年龄去世后,按照他的意愿,这份最后的手稿加入了他在德州大学哈里•兰森中心的档案馆,一直隐藏在公众视野之外。
