GARCIA MARQUEZ, Gabriel (b.1927). Cien anos de soledad. Buenos Aires: Editorial Sudamericana, 1967. 8° (198 x 132mm). (Text rippled by damp, margins browned, dampstain in some margins and to edges, some spotting.) Original illustrated wrappers (dampstain on sides and spine, spine creased, small chip at head of spine fold with back cover); modern case, probably by Cambras, covered in variously-coloured and textured papers. Provenance: Gabriel García Márquez (presentation inscription to:) -- Francisco 'Paco' Porrúa (1922, editor, publisher, translator).
PRESENTATION COPY TO 'PACO' PORRUA, THE EDITOR OF HIS MASTERPIECE, inscribed by the author in the year of publication: 'Para Paco, por todos los vientos que se llevan a los elefantes, Gabo. 1967. B[uenos] A[ires]'. Cien anos de soledad is the author's most acclaimed novel and in no small part earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982; his acceptance speech, echoing the work, is entitled 'The Solitude of Latin America'. Some of the almost universal praise heaped on this work must be credited to Porrúa, who helped bring into being a work enjoyed by more than 20 million readers worldwide. Porrúa also edited Julio Cortázar and later founded Minotaur, which popularised Bradbury, Ballard, Tolkien, and others in the Spanish-speaking world, often in Porrúa's own translations. This second edition was published one month after the first, which perhaps sold out before the grateful author could present one to his editor.
