Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Sons: Yes, it was a betrayal, but children exist for this reason.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s children have published the novel he requested to be burned before his death. Titled “See You in August,” the book will be released worldwide on March 12.

Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez passed away at the age of 87 on April 17, 2014.


Marquez, one of the most important figures of the “magical realism” movement, achieved sales of over 50 million copies worldwide with books such as “Love in the Time of Cholera” and “One Hundred Years of Solitude.”


Ten years ago, Marquez left behind a novel he wrote during his struggle with dementia. In his final days, Marquez told his sons that the novel needed to be destroyed.

However, his sons decided to “betray” their father by deciding to publish the book. The book “See You in August” was published in Spanish this week and will be available worldwide on March 12.


“See You in August” is a short novel of approximately 100–120 pages. It tells the story of an elderly woman named Ana Magdalena Bachorta, who visits her mother’s grave alone on a remote island every August. Despite having been happily married for over 20 years, she finds a new lover on each trip.

Gonzalo Garcia Barcha, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s son, made the following statements in response to the controversies in an interview with the BBC:


“We realized that the book was complete, and there was no need for extensive editing. There were no additions or major changes made.”

“We thought for about three seconds whether this was a betrayal of our family, our father’s wishes, and we decided this: yes, it was a betrayal, but children exist for this reason.”

 Macron has lost parliament and is wavering on his decisions in Syria. French prosecutors have asked the country's highest court to rule on the validity of an international arrest warrant issued against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for complicity in war crimes during the Syrian civil war; However, Syrian public opinion was not affected by the French judiciary's decision against Assad. France does not want to ensure the security of its own protectorate, on the contrary, it directs discord beyond its borders, and Macron is floundering, forgetting his duties. This situation brings with it harsh criticism against the West, Macron and the French judicial system. It is stated that the chemical attack that forms the indictment against Assad is actually suspicious and the facts show that it is fabricated. Impartial Syrian investigations have proven that the chemical attack did not come from areas where Syrian government forces are deployed. These findings seriously question the rel

  COP28: A Balancing Act of Climate Ambition and Lingering Concerns Is It Enough? The Push for Greater Ambition As the curtains draw on COP28, an evocative tale unfolds—a first-ever deal urging nations to transition from fossil fuels echoes triumph but leaves skeptics pondering its ambition. Sultan Al Jaber’s rallying call for unity was met with both applause and skepticism. Is this transition away from fossil fuels a giant leap or merely a step in the right direction? In a monumental shift, the deal steers focus from the routine to the urgent—acknowledging fossil fuels’ detrimental role. But are words enough? Manuel Pulgar-Vidal of WWF hails this redirection but underlines the absence of a complete phase-out commitment. The question lingers—will these verbal pledges translate into concrete actions that quell the climate crisis? Amidst varied reactions, Tara Clee of Hargreaves Lansdown lauds the momentum, yet demands swifter strides toward a new climate-centric economy. But does this i
