Pretty much any of Pablo
Neruda’s poetry collections
could have ended up on this
list, but this one in particular
stands out as the one that
finally piqued critical attention.
Considered one of the
greatest poets in the Spanish
language, his push into the
literary consciousness was
published when he was only
19. At the time, mainstream
audiences considered the
overt, unapologetic sexuality
contained within the
collection something
scandalous.

Works
most famous stories, as part of the Ficciones collection. “The Library of
Babel” posits a universe in the form of a library made out of connected
hexagonal rooms, each room filled with books and the barest necessities
for life. Each book contains 410 pages, with 40 lines of 80 letters each.
There are 25 letters and punctuation marks in the alphabet.

The Library contains every possible combination of those letters. In this

library, you can find an incomprehensible number of hexagonal rooms
with a specific number of books: Books that contain all knowledge of the
universe. But here is the catch: All this knowledge is mixed with utter
gibberish.

The library contains every sentence you have ever said or will say in
future, It contains every book ever written or will be written, It contains
the first words you ever said and last words you will say, it contains
secrets to the universe and unfortunately or fortunately, it contains a lot of
gibberish.

The Handsomest Drowned Man

in the World

one hundred years of solitude

In “A Very Old Man with Enormous
Wings,” García Márquez makes use of
several highly inventive diversions from
the basic story line to make interpretation
even more elusive. In these narrative
diversions theme and technique become
inseparably intertwined. Although the old
man/angel is central to the story, and
every event bears on him, his appearance,
behavior, identity, fate, or effects, the
attention focused on the old man is
frequently interrupted by shifts of focus to
other characters, who are sometimes
named and described at length. The
obtrusiveness of the narrator, who is both
at one with and apart from the other
characters, also functions to distract the
reader
