 noid.ch | Jun 13, 2024 |   Cada mes de agosto Ana Magdalena Bach toma el transbordador hasta la isla donde está enterrada su madre para visitar la tumba en la que yace. Esas visitas acaban suponiendo una irresistible invitación a convertirse en una persona distinta durante una noche al año. Escrita en el inconfundible y fascinante estilo de García Márquez, En agosto nos vemos es un canto a la vida, a la resistencia del goce pese al paso del tiempo y al deseo femenino. Un regalo inesperado para los innumerables lectores del Nobel colombiano. bcacultart | May 10, 2024 | The author had said this book was not good, battling Alzheimers disease, and yet, the family went ahead and published this book ,i guess, just for the money it might bring. Shameful. Gabo was one of the world's greatest writers. For readers new to him, they should not remember his writing based on this awful book.

This was a very strange but also an enjoyable and compelling story; I didn't want to set it down until I'd finished reading. A much more interesting novella than I was expecting, with very skilled writing (and translating). (  ) reader1009 | Apr 19, 2024 |
 Until August is a sketch, as blurry and flawed as sketches generally are, but a sketch from a master is welcome.
"Sitting alone beside the languorous blue waters of the lagoon, Ana Magdalena Bach contemplates the men at the hotel bar. She has been happily married for twenty-seven years and has no reason to escape the life she has made with her husband and children. And yet, every August, she travels by ferry here to the island where her mother is buried, and for one night takes a new lover. Across sultry Caribbean evenings full of salsa and boleros, lotharios and conmen, Ana journeys further each year into the hinterland of her desire and the fear hidden in her heart. Constantly surprising, joyously sensual, Until August is a profound meditation on freedom, regret, self-transformation, and the mysteries of love--an unexpected gift from one of the greatest writers the world has ever known." -- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Certes, l’éditeur et les enfants semblent avoir des arguments et le livre n’est vraiment pas dénué de qualités… Mais !

Tous les ans, un soir, sur l’île, après avoir déposé des glaïeuls sur la tombe de sa mère, Ana Magdalena trouve… un nouvel amant (
