UNTIL AUGUST - THE LOST NOVEL
Sitting alone, overlooking the still and blue lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach surveys the men of the hotel bar. She is happily married and has no reason to escape the world she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover.
Amid sultry days and tropical downpours, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire, and the fear that sits quietly at her heart.
Constantly surprising and wonderfully sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, and the mysteries of love, from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known.

GARCIA MARQUEZ GABRIEL
Gabriel García Márquez nació el 6 de marzo de 1927 en Aracataca, un pueblito de la costa atlántica de Colombia. Distinguido con el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1982, publicó su primer cuento, "La tercera resignación", a los veinte años, y al año siguiente se inició en el periodismo. Durante más de medio siglo ejerció esos dos oficios, hechizado por "el amargo encanto de la máquina de escribir". Su talento narrativo hizo de él un escritor fascinante para miles de lectores. Considerado como el máximo exponente del "realismo mágico", sostuvo siempre: "No hay en mis novelas una línea que no esté basada en la realidad". Fue, en definitiva, el hacedor de uno de los mundos narrativos más ricos de significado que ha dado la lengua española en el siglo XX. Murió en Ciudad de México el 17 de abril de 2014.
