In the spring of 2014, Gabriel García Márquez was bedridden by a cold. His wife, Mercedes Barcha, who had been by his side for more than fifty years, felt that this was no ordinary cold and shared her concern with their children. And the older son, Rodrigo, began documenting his father's last days. Farewell is an extremely personal memoir from Gabó and Mercedes about death, loss, and paternal inheritance: it brings the reader closer to one of the world's greatest writers and gives insight into fond and painful family memories. Rodrigo wrote this text in English, which is also no accident. The farewell book also shows how and why the son of a world-famous man chose a different branch of art and a different language. According to Salman Rushdie, Rodrigo García's book will fascinate and move everyone who once entered the glorious literary world of Gabriel García Márquez. The book also includes some family photos, which are still unknown in this country.
