«El coronel no tiene quien le escriba» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback, in Spanish.
An elderly colonel and his wife live in poverty in a coastal village in Colombia while waiting for the pension the government does not send. Against adversity, they keep hope and dignity; the wait becomes a portrait of injustice, resistance, and the pride of one who does not give up.
The novel was originally published in 1961; this edition by Círculo de Lectores came out in Barcelona in 1984. ISBN-10: 8422617749.

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.
