Bajo el lema de estos funerales mitol???gicos, Gabriel Garc???a M???rquez reuni??? en 1962 siete relatos y la novela corta que da t???tulo al presente volumen, en el que aparece ya en todo su esplendor el elemento m???gico y tel???rico que a partir de entonces definir???a su obra. Estamos en Macondo y su regi???n una vez m???s, entre personajes y episodios reconocibles, pero ahora caen p???jaros muertos sobre el poblado, rompiendo mosquiteros y alambradas, un cura ve al diablo o afirma haber encontrado al jud???o errante, y visitar la tumba de un ser querido supone un riesgo impredecible. Y hay que enterrar a la Mam??? Grande, soberana absoluta de este mundo, que falleci??? en olor de santidad a los noventa y dos a???os, tras haber conservado la virginidad durante toda su vida, y a cuyos funerales acude el presidente de la Rep???blica y hasta el Sumo Pont???fice en su g???ndola papal, pero tambi???n guajiros, contrabandistas, arroceros, prostitutas, hechiceros y bananeros llegados para la ocasi???n. ??????sta es, incr???dulos del mundo entero, la ver???dica historia de la Mam??? Grande, soberana absoluta del reino de Macondo, que vivi??? en funci???n de dominio durante 92 a???os y muri??? en olor de santidad un martes de septiembre pasado, y a cuyos funerales vino en Sumo Pont???fice.??? Rafael Conte ha dicho... ???El mayor juglar de nuestro tiempo, el hombre que por lo menos nos ha hecho menos infelices, o quiz??? rotundamente m???s felices en estos tan infelices tiempos que nos ha tocado habitar.??? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Big Mama's Funeral is a long short story by Gabriel Garc???a M???rquez that satirizes Latin American life and culture. It displays the exaggeration associated with magic realism. Most of the places' names mentioned come from Colombia, and "Big Mama" herself is an exaggeration of the 'cacique' (political boss), a familiar figure in Latin American history and tradition. In Big Mama's Funeral, we find ourselves in Macondo once again, among recognizable characters and events. The story centers around Big Mama's burial, absolute sovereign of this world, who died in holiness at the age of 92, after having preserved her virginity throughout her life, and whose funeral is attend by the President of the Republic and even the Supreme Pontiff, but also by peasants, smugglers, rice farmers, prostitutes, sorcerers, and banana growers. Under the motto of these mythological funerals, the author gathered seven stories, and also the novelle that gives this book its title, in which the magical elements, that would from then on define Garcia Marquez' work, appear in all its splendor cohabiting with reality.
