The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor

This is Marquez's account of a real-life event. In 1955, eight crew members of the destroyer Caldas, were swept into the Caribbean Sea. The sole survivor, Luis Alejandro Belasco, told the true version of the events to Marquez, causing great scandal at the time.

Aunque conocida con este título abreviado, el verdadero título de esta obra, mucho más largo, resume perfectamente la historia: Relato de un náufrago que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa sin comer ni beber, que fue proclamado héroe de la patria, besado por las reinas de la belleza y hecho rico por la publicidad, y luego aborrecido por el gobierno y olvidado para siempre. Publicado por entregas en El Espectador de Bogotá en 1955 y más tarde en libro (en 1970), no una novela, sino un reportaje periodístico que da cuenta de un suceso real. Con impecable técnica literaria y profesional estilo noticioso, García Márquez relata un suceso acaecido a un marinero de la armada colombiana llamado Luis Alejandro Velasco. La historia, reconstruida minuciosamente por el escritor sudamericano en primera persona a partir del testimonio del protagonista, fue tácticamente atribuida a éste en la prensa y sólo legitimada tras el formidable éxito de Cien años de soledad.
