When the Swedish Academy declared in 1982 that Gabriel Garcia Marquez had won the Nobel Prize for Literature, it stated in its justifications that he had been chosen “for his novels and short stories, in which imagination and realism are combined in a rich world of imagination, reflecting the continent’s life and conflicts.”
In honour of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 40th birthday, the Nobel International Prize stated via her official Twitter account that Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his book “One Hundred Years of Isolation,” is one of the most significant literary practitioners of magic realism.
