Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, “I will start my life over again. I will become a writer.”

To write this book, Garcia Marquez and his wife had to sell almost all of their possessions to survive. But their act was worth it. The book, “One Hundred Years of Solitude” was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez’s future success.
