«El general en su laberinto» is the historical novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (317 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Simón Bolívar on his final journey from Bogotá to the Caribbean coast, already retired from power and in full physical decline.

Intended for readers of historical fiction and Latin American narrative interested in the figure of Simón Bolívar.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. 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. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
