Colombian Nobel Prize laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez (L) talks with Antonio Garcia (C), second in command of the 5,000-strong Colombian National Liberation Army (ELN) and Francisco Galan, commissioner of the ELN, after a meeting in Havana, in this December 16, 2005 file photo. Garcia Marquez, the Colombian author whose beguiling stories of love and longing brought Latin America to life for millions of readers and put magical realism on the literary map, died on April 17, 2014. He was 87. Known affectionately to friends and fans as “Gabo”, he is arguably Latin America’s best-known author and his books have sold in the tens of millions.
