Relato de un Naufrago
Relato de un Naufrago | Gabriel Garcia Marquez
6 posts | 20 read | 8 to read
El 28 de febrero de 1955 cunde la noticia de que una tormenta en el mar Caribe ha hecho naufragar al destructor Caldas, de la marina de guerra de Colombia. La busqueda de los naufragos se inicia de inmediato, pero al cabo de pocos dias de esfuerzos inutiles los marineros perdidos son declarados oficialmente muertos. Sin embargo, una semana despues aparece uno de ellos. Es Luis Alejandro Velasco, que ha permanecido diez dias, sin comer ni beber, en una balsa a la deriva. El renombre inmediato rodea al naufrago, un muchacho robusto, de veinte anos, con mas cara de trompetista que de heroe de la patria. El sobreviviente acude un dia a la sala de redaccion de El Espectador de Colombia. Propone a un joven periodista narrar la verdadera historia del naufragio, sin las deformaciones del oficialismo ni los manoseos de la propaganda. El joven periodista se llama Gabriel Garcia Marquez. En veinte sesiones de seis horas diarias -dice el futuro autor de Cien anos de soledad- logramos reconstruir el relato compacto y veridico de sus diez dias de mar. Era tan minucioso y apasionante que mi unico problema literario seria conseguir que el lector lo creyera. La historia se publica en catorce dias consecutivos. El exito es fulminante. A lo largo del dialogo salen a la luz muchas verdades, y el relato de aventuras se convierte en denuncia politica que agita al pais, cuesta la gloria y la carrera al naufrago y condena al exilio al entonces joven periodista...

Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor | Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Before he was a famous novelist, Garcia Marquez was a journalist. It's no surprise that an article he wrote for 'El Espectador' about a Colombian naval officer who was washed overboard and spent 10 days adrift in the Caribbean Sea was eventually made into this book. It's the quintessential "man vs. nature" narrative, incredibly harrowing. The reason that sailor was even on the water in the first place caused a major controversy when revealed.

You probably know or have read Gabriel García Márquez. I gravitare toward his old works. This book is a mix of journalism and magical realism. This is my Latin American pick for today.
