«En este libro hay más lecciones valiosas sobre el oficio de novelista que en cualquier facultad de literatura.» Juan Gabriel Vásquez.

En septiembre de 1967, unos jóvenes Gabriel García Márquez y Mario Vargas Llosa se reunieron en Lima para hablar de literatura latinoamericana. El primero había vendido ya miles de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad. El segundo acababa de ganar el Premio Rómulo Gallegos por La casa verde.

Hoy ambos son considerados universalmente dos de los máximos exponentes de la literatura en español, pero por aquel entonces eran dos jóvenes que estaban empezando su carrera como novelistas. En Dos soledades se sitúan frente a frente dos escritores, dos genios literarios, dos maneras diferentes de entender la literatura, dos temperamentos en cierto modo contradictorios, dos formas distintas de narrar. Son los tiempos en que el boom se está gestando, en los que todavía no se ha acuñado nombre para lo que hoy conocemos como «realismo mágico». En estas páginas apasionantes, el lector asiste a una conversación sin igual.

La edición incorpora textos de Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Luis Rodríguez Pastor, José Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sánchez León y Ricardo González Vigil, quienes rememoran, la mayoría en calidad de testigos, aquel diálogo; y, además, dos entrevistas al escritor colombiano, una selección fotográfica, y la valoración que hace hoy Vargas Llosa de la vida y obra de García Márquez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

There are more valuable lessons about crafting a novel in this book than in any literature school." Juan Gabriel Vasquez.

In September of 1967, a young Gabriel García Márquez and Mario Vargas Llosa met in Lima to discuss Latin American literature. The first had already sold thousands of copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude. The second had just won the Rómulo Gallegos Award for The Green House.

Today both are universally considered two of the greatest examples of Spanish literature, but at that time they were two young people who were beginning their careers as novelists. In Dos soledades, two writers, two literary geniuses, two different ways of understanding literature, two somewhat contradictory temperaments, two different ways of narrating, are placed face-to-face. These were the times when the boom was brewing, when a name had not yet been coined for what we know today as "magical realism." In these exciting pages, the reader witnesses a conversation like no other.

This edition incorporates texts by Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Luis Rodríguez Pastor, José Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sánchez León and Ricardo González Vigil, who recall, the majority as bystanders, that dialogue; and, in addition, two interviews with the Colombian writer, a selection of photographs, and Vargas Llosa's assessment of the life and work of García Márquez today.

Nice and soft
Size: Queen, Color: Chambray
Update: I’m very happy with this sheet set! I’m currently only using the fitted sheet as I don’t have a need for the top sheet or pillow cases right now. It hasn’t popped off the mattress at all like the previous cheep sheet I had. Original post: The sheet set arrived today. Haven’t actually tried it yet because I need to wash it first. From I can see, looks great. Once it’s washed and on my bed, and can figure out how to update my review I will do so accordingly. It’s soft like most people have said and the color is nice, though they didn’t have my favorite color purple in a shade I like so I got the ‘fancy blue’ (don’t remember the actual name of the color) because I desperately needed a new sheet of quality.

Very comfy sheets, nice fabric
Size: Full, Color: Oatmeal
I wasn’t expecting such good quality forthis price. They’re very soft, but of fairly thick fabric. I’m sleeping great on them. The pockets are deep enough for an 8” foam mattress plus my 3” topper. Will be getting another set for the second bedroom.

Great Sheets!
Size: Twin, Color: Oatmeal
Super soft, wash up beautifully, seem well made — very happy! It’s very hard to find 100% cotton t-shirt type sheets and these are really lovely.

Weirdly textured
Size: King, Color: Dark Gray
I have bought and loved jersey sheets in the past, that have all been as soft as a well worn cotton t-shirt. These arent soft. They have the stretch of jersey, but not the soft smooth texture that they should have. Even after washing a few times these are one of my least favorite sheets I've ever bought on Amazon.

Soft, Breathable Sheets That Feel Great to Sleep On
Size: Twin, Color: White
This Amazon Basics jersey sheet set was a really good purchase. The cotton material is soft, stretchy, and breathable — it feels like sleeping in a comfortable T‑shirt. The fitted sheet has a nice snug fit that stays in place, and the flat sheet is lightweight without feeling flimsy. The fabric washes well, doesn’t pill, and stays soft after multiple loads. It’s a great everyday sheet set for anyone who likes that cozy, relaxed jersey feel. Overall, comfortable, easy to care for, and great value for the price.
