Second edition only one month after the first edition.
Spine lightly wrinkled, small signs of folding in the margins of the boards, a light mark on the second board.

 

Rare and precious autograph inscription signed by Gabriel García Márquez on his masterpiece to his friend and translator Claude Couffon: “Para Claude, con un gran abrazo de amigo, Gabriel 1968.” (“For Claude, with a big hug from your friend, Gabriel 1968.”)
 

Claude Couffon, a French specialist and translator of the major Spanish-speaking writers of the second half of the 20th century, translated Chronicle of a Death Foretold a few years later.
On the last page, below the colophon, Gabriel García Márquez specified an address in Barcelona, that of his famous literary agent for Spain: “c/o Agencia Carmen Ballcells Urgel 241, Barcelona, 11.”

Rightly considered as one of the most important works op the Spanish language, the novel by García Márquez, however, had difficult beginnings after a first refusal by the avant-garde Barcelona publisher Seix Barral: “This novel will not be successful [...], this novel is useless.”
García Márquez sent it from Mexico to the Argentinian publisher Francisco Porrúa who immediately perceived the power of this unknown Colombian writer: “It wasn't a question of getting to the end to find out if the novel could be published. The publication was already decided from the first line, in the first paragraph. I simply understood what any sensible publisher would have understood: that it was an exceptional work.”
Finished printing in May 1967, Cien Años de Soledad appeared in bookshops in June with 8,000 copies selling out in a few days. The second print on 30 June will have the same success, as will the editions that follow week after week. More than half a million copies were sold in three years.

Several copies were later inscribed by Gabriel García Márquez who over the years has become one of the most famous South American writers, translated into 25 languages. However, contemporary autograph inscriptions on the first prints are extremely rare, even more so to one of his French translators who will contribute largely to his international renown.

*

Considérée comme l'une des plus importantes œuvres de langue espagnole, le roman de García Márquez eut pourtant une naissance difficile, après un premier refus de l'éditeur barcelonais d'avant-garde Seix Barral, considérant que : « Ce roman ne va pas avoir de succès [...], ce roman est inutile. » García Márquez l'expédia depuis Mexico à l'éditeur argentin Francisco Porrúa, qui perçut immédiatement la puissance de cet écrivain colombien inconnu : « Il ne s'agissait pas d'arriver au bout pour savoir si le roman pouvait être publié. La publication était déjà décidée à la première ligne, au premier paragraphe. J'ai simplement compris ce que n'importe quel éditeur sensé aurait compris à ma place : qu'il s'agissait d'un ouvrage exceptionnel. »
 
Achevé d'imprimé en mai 1967, Cent ans de solitude parait en juin en librairie à 8 000 exemplaires qui seront épuisés en quelques jours. Le second tirage du 30 juin connaîtra le même succès puis les éditions se succéderont de semaines en semaines. Plus d'un demi-million d'exemplaires furent écoulés en trois ans.
Plusieurs exemplaires ont été dédicacés tardivement par García Márquez devenu au fil des ans l'un des plus célèbres écrivains sudaméricains, traduit dans 25 langues. Cependant, les envois autographes d'époque sur les premiers tirages sont d'une insigne rareté, plus encore à l'un de ses traducteurs français qui contribueront largement à sa renommée internationale.
