Chinese Summary/中文概要： 加夫列爾.加西亞.馬爾克斯無疑是當代最具影響力的文豪之一，長久以來他一直著墨于自己祖國哥倫比亞的悠久歷史，而這也造就了其獨樹一幟的創作風格。自一九八二年其成功贏得諾貝爾文學獎以來，他已經成為當代世界文壇上眾目所矚的風雲人物，其作品更是受到全世界廣大讀者的廣泛好評。其中尤其是《百年孤獨》一書，已先後被譯成三十多種語言出版，印數達一千萬冊。各國文學評論界也不斷發表文章對其作品展開評論，其中更是不乏溢美之詞，英國《泰晤士報》更是將加西亞.馬爾克斯稱為「一位理想主義者和偉大的小說家」。
加西亞.馬爾克斯以拉丁美洲的歷史和現狀為背景，在歷經了長期細緻的觀察、分析和思考之後，遂於上世紀五十年代開始了其文學創作工作，迄今為止已成功撰寫出了不少的作品。之所以他能夠在創作上取得如此驕人的成就，這與他廣泛的生活閱歷和堅毅的奮鬥精神有著密不可分的關係。
而本書首次對馬爾克斯筆下所有的著作，展開了一次全面的回顧和評論。本書作者基恩.貝爾-維拉達以其優雅的文筆，為我們介紹了這位作家的生平、秉性以及政治生涯，同時還為我們揭示了促成其創作風格背後的重要原因。
在此次的新版之中，貝爾-維拉達又加入了針對自一九八八年後馬爾克斯所推出的作品的評論：從「迷宮中的將軍」(The General in His Labyrinth)到「苦妓回憶錄」(Memories of My Melancholy Whores)，同時更有作者本人的回憶錄「為小說而生」(Living to Tell the Tale)等。除此之外，讀者還將於書中看到更多有關於加西亞.馬爾克斯自傳的訊息以及其在藝術方面發展的最新動態，這無疑將讓本作成為迄今為止市面上記錄馬爾克斯最為詳盡的一本書籍.(ANDY)
