Bajo el lema de estos funerales mitológicos, Gabriel García Márquez reunió en 1962 siete relatos y la novela corta que da título al presente volumen, en el que aparece ya en todo su esplendor el elemento mágico y telúrico que a partir de entonces definiría su obra.

Estamos en Macondo y su región una vez más, entre personajes y episodios reconocibles, pero ahora caen pájaros muertos sobre el poblado, rompiendo mosquiteros y alambradas, un cura ve al diablo o afirma haber encontrado al judío errante, y visitar la tumba de un ser querido supone un riesgo impredecible. Y hay que enterrar a la Mamá Grande, soberana absoluta de este mundo, que falleció en olor de santidad a los noventa y dos años, tras haber conservado la virginidad durante toda su vida, y a cuyos funerales acude el presidente de la República y hasta el Sumo Pontífice en su góndola papal, pero también guajiros, contrabandistas, arroceros, prostitutas, hechiceros y bananeros llegados para la ocasión.

«Ésta es, incrédulos del mundo entero, la verídica historia de la Mamá Grande, soberana absoluta del reino de Macondo, que vivió en función de dominio durante 92 años y murió en olor de santidad un martes de septiembre pasado, y a cuyos funerales vino en Sumo Pontífice.»

Rafael Conte ha dicho...
«El mayor juglar de nuestro tiempo, el hombre que por lo menos nos ha hecho menos infelices, o quizá rotundamente más felices en estos tan infelices tiempos que nos ha tocado habitar.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Big Mama's Funeral is a long short story by Gabriel García Márquez that satirizes Latin American life and culture. It displays the exaggeration associated with magic realism. Most of the places' names mentioned come from Colombia, and "Big Mama" herself is an exaggeration of the 'cacique' (political boss), a familiar figure in Latin American history and tradition.

In Big Mama's Funeral, we find ourselves in Macondo once again, among recognizable characters and events. The story centers around Big Mama's burial, absolute sovereign of this world, who died in holiness at the age of 92, after having preserved her virginity throughout her life, and whose funeral is attend by the President of the Republic and even the Supreme Pontiff, but also by peasants, smugglers, rice farmers, prostitutes, sorcerers, and banana growers.

Under the motto of these mythological funerals, the author gathered seven stories, and also the novelle that gives this book its title, in which the magical elements, that would from then on define Garcia Marquez' work, appear in all its splendor cohabiting with reality.

Beware of a sticky detail
I was looking for a way to organize my kitchen soap, sponges, and bottle brushes. This soap dispenser checked off all of my boxes with a nice stainless steel design making it a great addition to my kitchen counter. Question: after all of these positive aspects why only two stars? Answer: there is a sticker placed onto the dispenser that is so sticky that it is a formidable foe to remove (please review the attached photo). I liked this soap dispenser but the semi permanent sticker is the deal breaker to an otherwise nice product.

Keeps the Sink Area Neat and Organized
This has been really helpful for keeping my sink area clean. The soap dispenser pumps great! The sponge and brush holders keep everything off the counter so that really helps. The stainless steel looks nice and hasn’t shown any rust so far. It’s compact but holds everything I use daily, and cleaning it is easy. Great little upgrade if your sink area always feels messy. edited to add: took me about 45 minutes to finally get the sticker label off it was stuck directly on the stainless steel so I had to be really careful peelng it off

Stainless Steel 3-in-1 Sponge/Brush Holder with soap dispenser for Kitchen
This is an ideal item to organize your sink areas. Perfect for kichens but also for bathroom use. I love the built in soap dispenser. The one I currently have doesn't have a dispenser. And the big liquid soap container is always falling over. Mine irack is bigger but this one is more organied. Easy to clean. stainless steel. Smaller foot print so it sits right near the faucet easily. 7.3"L x 5.3"W x 6.5"H And, it has drainage holes in the front rack to keep your sponges fresh by quickly drying. I was going to put this in one of our smaller kitchens in a guest house, but I may just snag it for my kitchen! Good value. Priced right.
