He chronicled in a thousand different ways
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.999
the futility of denying the
primacy of the human spirit
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.999

00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:09.999
Someone just said to me, you know, you should
really read this book. And I started reading
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.999
and I literally couldn’t quit,
it was like an addiction,
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:19.999
I couldn’t put it down. And I was
reading it in a class one day,
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:24.999
I still remember it was
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.999
tax class which I didn’t like although I loved
the professor and (inaudible) already said,
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:34.999
\"What’s so much more interesting than I am?\" then
I said, \"This! This is the greatest novel written
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:39.999
in any language since we (inaudible). They
told eternal truth’s of human nature,
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.999
human motivation and how
we’re driven up and down
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:50.000
by love and hate, greed and
generosity, hopes and fears.
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:39.999
It was just this breath taking
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:45.000
picture of life unfolding.
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:23.000
Vargas Llosa is one of the main leaders…
00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.999
of the anti-Cuba, anti-Castro movement
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:59.999
Garcia Márquez refuses to
sign, Plinio signs for him…
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:05.000
as Garcia Márquez later said, He signed
for me… even though I wouldn’t signed
00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:50.000
He was searching for the lost
dream of the Latin American
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:55.000
We’re discussing that you
are the new Hemingway.

01:12:50.000 --> 01:12:54.999
It’s his great novel of reconciliation
01:12:55.000 --> 01:13:00.000
It is like a telenovel written by
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:05.000

01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:14.999
I was sitting in the oval office, I’ll never
forget this and I opened it and read two pages.
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:19.999
I did something I don’t
know if I ever did it again
01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:24.999
but on this day I literally
made up an excuse
01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:29.999
to cancel a couple of
appointments and I went back
01:20:30.000 --> 01:20:38.000
and read the thing straight through.
01:20:55.000 --> 01:20:59.999
And after that I felt like
01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:04.999
I understood the situation I
thought that I understood
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:09.999
the motivations of young man would
know where to Micheal living.
01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:14.999
Being drawn into the gangs and I believe
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:20.000
that there had to be a way out of it
because of the way he painted the players.
01:21:35.000 --> 01:21:39.999
He was a wonderful conversationalists, he was
serious and direct about what he believed
01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:44.999
but he could express his
disagreements with you
01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:50.000
and still show good will.
01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:59.999
When we were talking once about
Castro when he knew that
01:22:00.000 --> 01:22:04.999
I might lifting embargo. And he said,
\"Castro only wants two things.\"
01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:09.999
I said, \"What are they?\" He said,
\"He wants you to promise that
01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:14.999
if the embargo lifted, nobody
would try to take away
01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:19.999
the Universal Health Care or
the Universal Education.\"
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:24.999
I said, \"That’s easy, I agree with him.\"
01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:29.999
And he said, \"He wants you to promise that
you will not permit any Cuban Americans
01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:34.999
to weaken his stand against
the narco-traffickers.\"
01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:43.000
I wanted to lift the embargo
01:22:55.000 --> 01:22:59.999
in my second term and he knew it and then the
congress (inaudible) that keep it in marks
01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:04.999
(inaudible) concerned now nobody can
lift the embargo without our support.
01:23:05.000 --> 01:23:09.999
He never stop being taken seriously
as an artist and gave weight
01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:14.999
to his public convictions
and about the larger issues
01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:20.000
that’s quite unique thing to do.

01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:49.999
The scene is set in Sucre
\"Chronicles of a Death Foretold\"…
01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:54.999
is one of Garcia Márquez’s masterpieces The
language of the book is profoundly his…
01:23:55.000 --> 01:23:59.999
it enriches reality, it
01:24:00.000 --> 01:24:04.999
It reveals Garcia Márquez’s magic touch
01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:09.999
Santiago Nasar, whose real counterpart… was
Garcia Márquez’s good friend Caylano Gentile…
01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:14.999
Santiago’s struggle
against a death sentence…
01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:19.999
dictated by forces he doesn’t understand
And the assasins struggle as well…
01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:24.999
who are pulled by overpowering forces One of
the conflicts he obsessed over as a writer…
01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:29.999
was man verses destiny

He was a great heart and a great mind
01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:49.999
who taught us how we imprison ourselves
01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:54.999
and our fears
01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:59.999
and our illusion that
01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:04.999
control is possible that
dominance is possible that
01:28:05.000 --> 01:28:13.000
wealth and power are matter
of more than love and grace.
