Professor Ruben Pelayo's Video Project
Video I –narrated in Spanish with English subtitles-- is a succinct biography of
Gabriel García Márquez intended to celebrate his unparalleled fame in all modern languages.
The video stresses his identity, his journalist skill as chronicler, as a writer,
and his often mistaken year of birth. The video conveys the idea of a writer who
can also be seen as a husband, father, friend, and as a private man. Winner of the
Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, he is, undoubtedly, the most popular writer of
the 20th Century in the Spanish Language.
Video II –narrated in Spanish with English subtitles-- is an insightful look at
García Márquez's masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude. The video takes the
viewer through the first short stories and novels that led to the making of this opus
magnum with commentaries by world-wide known authors, and analogies with Sophocles,
Kafka, and Faulkner. Intended for a world audience, this video presentation brings
forward a broader school of Spanish criticism and a perceptive analysis of thematic
issues often reduced in Anglo-speaking settings. The novel, according to Pelayo,
is many present-day societies in the abstract.
