ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

On the Loose (1974-1995) is the fourth volume of Gabriel García Márquez’s journalistic works. Between the analysis of Chile during the coup d’état, which opens this book, and the profile of Federico Mayor Zaragoza, Director-General of UNESCO, which closes it, the reader will find twenty-six additional profiles that serve as individual pieces in the mosaic of two decades of world history and, in particular, Latin American history. Salvador Allende, Philip Agee, Fidel Castro, Alberto Camps, General Torrijos, John Paul II, and Felipe González, among others, have shaped an era and are examined through the solid, profound, and seasoned lens of the Latin American Nobel laureate.
