About the author
Gabriel García Márquez
983 books41.5k followersGabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez was a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist. García Márquez, familiarly known as "Gabo" in his native country, was considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He studied at the University of Bogotá and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best-known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled as magical realism, which uses magical elements and events in order to explain real experiences. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo, and most of them express the theme of solitude.
Having previously written shorter fiction and screenplays, García Márquez sequestered himself away in his Mexico City home for an extended period of time to complete his novel Cien años de soledad, or One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967. The author drew international acclaim for the work, which ultimately sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. García Márquez is credited with helping introduce an array of readers to magical realism, a genre that combines more conventional storytelling forms with vivid, layers of fantasy.
Another one of his novels, El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), or Love in the Time of Cholera, drew a large global audience as well. The work was partially based on his parents' courtship and was adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem. García Márquez wrote seven novels during his life, with additional titles that include El general en su laberinto (1989), or The General in His Labyrinth, and Del amor y otros demonios (1994), or Of Love and Other Demons.

Creo que esta es una joya escondida de García Marquéz, puede ser porque se aleja bastante de su realismo mágico y retrata la revolución sandinista. El secuestro demuestra su versatilidad como escritor y su gran conocimiento sobre la izquierda revolucionaria latinoamericana. Es una gran historia muy bien contada aunque tiene ciertos errores, el más obvio es el uso del “sois” en lugar del “sos”. No sé si este guion ya fue hecho película pero sino debería. Ñ

Creo entender porque no se ha hecho película sobre el libro. En la historia falta un momento climático, es una sucesión de eventos que a mí parecer adolece de emoción. No es lo mejor del premio Nobel, conclusión con una kilométrica apología.

Ritmo trepidante, situaciones interesantes y un thriller político bastante intenso que en breves páginas logra hacernos caer en cuenta de todos los atropellos y corrupciones de los gobiernos latinoamericanos. García Márquez la tenía clara.

Guión cinematográfico para la película "El secuestro", en donde un grupo revolucionario en Nicaragua toma presos a gente relacionada con el gobierno y hace una serie de demandas para poder liberarlos.
El guión es corto, y hay poco diálogo. Hay muchas escenas que son cortas y muy cortadas, con respecto a los personajes, estos son muchos y todos son superficiales, y la distinción que se hacen con números los hace todavía más banales. Aunque las localidades son pocas, se da poco detalle que ayuden a su identificación, las descripciones de las escenas están detalladas en cosas superficiales.
En lo personal no me gustó, todo lo que abarca es impreciso y los detalles que hay solo son en detalles superfluos. La historia es muy plana y no dice mucho. Tal vez la película sea buena, pero el guión es poco llamativo.
