This is the first volume in a trilogy of Garcia Marquez's memoirs. The book begins as Garcia Marquez returns to his hometown of Aracataca with his mother to sell the family's house. The narrative becomes a journey through Colombian history, starting with the writer's childhood in Aracataca and ending in 1957 at age 29, when he traveled abroad for the first time. This first volume reflects Garcia Marquez's experience as both a novelist and a journalist.
