Relato de un náufrago is a work by the renowned author Gabriel García Márquez, published by Círculo de Lectores. This book tells the story of Luis Alejandro Velasco, a sailor who survived ten days adrift on a raft in the Caribbean Sea. Originally conceived as a report, the narration was transformed into a literary exercise that reveals the existence of illegal smuggling on a Colombian Navy ship, which led to the author's exile.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
