«En este libro hay más lecciones valiosas sobre el oficio de novelista que en cualquier facultad de literatura.» Juan Gabriel Vásquez.

En septiembre de 1967, unos jóvenes Gabriel García Márquez y Mario Vargas Llosa se reunieron en Lima para hablar de literatura latinoamericana. El primero había vendido ya miles de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad. El segundo acababa de ganar el Premio Rómulo Gallegos por La casa verde.

Hoy ambos son considerados universalmente dos de los máximos exponentes de la literatura en español, pero por aquel entonces eran dos jóvenes que estaban empezando su carrera como novelistas. En Dos soledades se sitúan frente a frente dos escritores, dos genios literarios, dos maneras diferentes de entender la literatura, dos temperamentos en cierto modo contradictorios, dos formas distintas de narrar. Son los tiempos en que el boom se está gestando, en los que todavía no se ha acuñado nombre para lo que hoy conocemos como «realismo mágico». En estas páginas apasionantes, el lector asiste a una conversación sin igual.

La edición incorpora textos de Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Luis Rodríguez Pastor, José Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sánchez León y Ricardo González Vigil, quienes rememoran, la mayoría en calidad de testigos, aquel diálogo; y, además, dos entrevistas al escritor colombiano, una selección fotográfica, y la valoración que hace hoy Vargas Llosa de la vida y obra de García Márquez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

There are more valuable lessons about crafting a novel in this book than in any literature school." Juan Gabriel Vasquez.

In September of 1967, a young Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa met in Lima to discuss Latin American literature. The first had already sold thousands of copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude. The second had just won the Rómulo Gallegos Award for The Green House.

Today both are universally considered two of the greatest examples of Spanish literature, but at that time they were two young people who were beginning their careers as novelists. In Dos soledades, two writers, two literary geniuses, two different ways of understanding literature, two somewhat contradictory temperaments, two different ways of narrating, are placed face-to-face. These were the times when the boom was brewing, when a name had not yet been coined for what we know today as "magical realism." In these exciting pages, the reader witnesses a conversation like no other.

This edition incorporates texts by Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Luis Rodríguez Pastor, José Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sánchez León and Ricardo González Vigil, who recall, the majority as bystanders, that dialogue; and, in addition, two interviews with the Colombian writer, a selection of photographs, and Vargas Llosa's assessment of the life and work of García Márquez today.

Don't waste your money!

Do NOT buy unless you like throwing away your money! This Ethical Pets 54093 Skinneeez Frog seemed like a great dog toy, but my Malti Poo destroyed it within TEN minutes! He actually ate the material and half of the squeaker before I found the other half. Guess we’ll be seeing that outside in a few days! This toy is listed as “Durable Dog Toy”, but it is NOT. I’ve got dog toys from the dollar store that lasted for months! We will not be buying nor recommending this product again. Don’t waste your money!

Perfect size for pittie pups
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
This was a pretty good toy. I have three pitbulls. The puppy in my video is 65lbs for reference to the toy. I thought that since it was fluffless she wouldn't try to eat the thing but after a couple of days of tugging it with her brothers the toy's paw came off and I was not fast enough to prevent her from swallowing it. She got rid of it with little GI stress. I will say that even though she's not squeaking it in the video, it has a pretty loud squeak. Overall we had it for four days before 260lbs of pooches were able to get the squeaker out. If you have pits then you know this is 5-star worthy sturdiness.

An Instant Hit and Everyone's New Favorite
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
An instant favorite! It took quite a while for my dog to break the squeaker, too. I love that it uses a water bottle for the crinkle sound, and I'm kind of glad the squeaker finally bit the dust. That works out well for us. It's tough enough that it's not ripped yet. Our dog plays with this toy every day. No fluff to pull out was definitely a plus for me. It's a great toy for the price, and I think small and larger dogs would also enjoy it. Johan is 7 months old, weighs about 40 pounds, and always chooses a favorite toy. This one replaced a worn out toy frog that was smaller, but still treasured. I was so glad that he loves this one just as much. It's a little bit longer than a regular-sized water bottle and has dangly legs. I think you could also put plastic that crinkles inside it, and they would love that too. It has a velcro closure to keep whatever you put in there inside, and he hasn't figured out how to open it so far. Update: We just bought a second one of these because he enjoyed the first one to its conclusion. It lasted longer than most toys (about 4 months with HARD use by a giant puppy), and it is his most favorite soft toy. The original didn't rip or tear, but the velcro got worn out when he figured out how to open it. I probably could have fixed it easily, but since Johan is the goodest boy, I got him a new one.

Best Toy Ever! 🐾
Color: GREEN, Size: 14 inch (Pack of 1), Style: FROG
Hey, it’s me, your dog! 🐶 This Frog toy is AMAZING! No stuffing to pull out (finally), so I can chew and squeak it all I want without making a mess. The squeaker is SO satisfying, I carry it everywhere. It’s the perfect size for playing tug-of-war and fetch with my human. I’ve had it for a while now, and it’s still holding up strong—no rips or tears yet! If you love squeaky toys and want something that lasts, this frog is paws-itively the best! 🐸
