Gabriel_garcia_marquez_1 "Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo. Macondo era entonces una aldea de veinte casas de barro y cañabrava construidas a la orilla de un río de aguas diáfanas que se precipitaban por un lecho de piedras pulidas, blancas y enormes como huevos prehistóricos. El mundo era tan reciente, que muchas cosas carecían de nombre, y para mencionarlas había que señalarlas con el dedo".

Friendly spell check!

Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia, not Columbia, so you might want to check the typo at http://growabrain.typepad.com/growabrain/books_gabriel_garcia_marquez/index.html
