Gabriel García Márquez’s most political novel is the tragic story of General Simón Bolívar, the man who tried to unite a continent.
Bolívar, known in six Latin American countries as the Liberator, is one of the most revered heroes of the western hemisphere; in García Márquez’s brilliant reimagining he is magnificently flawed as well. The novel follows Bolívar 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 powers–and still-powerful memories–he defies his impending death until the last.
The General in His Labyrinth is an unforgettable portrait of a visionary from one of the greatest writers of our time.

自从知道了 “马尔克斯”这个名字以来,就一直在盘问自己:这个牛逼作家的尽头在哪里?什么才是马尔克斯的极限?什么才是写人的极限? 近几天一直在读《迷宫中的将军》,读得很慢,甚至很吃力。读马尔克斯,从来不曾如此?是心迟钝了,还是心老了? 《迷宫中的将军》不像《百年...
评分《迷宫中的将军》是我读的第三部加西亚·马尔克斯的小说,前两部分别是《百年孤独》和《霍乱时期的爱情》,它们对我的人生产生了很大的影响。时隔六年之久再读这位大师的作品,我只觉得百感交集、不能言语! 惆怅感伤绵延不绝,书中文字已经极为平淡克制,现实主义的手法普通得...
