Lope de Vega, Calderón, Góngora, Quevedo, Unamuno, Lorca, Cernuda, Aleixandre, Borges, Carpentier, Rulfo, Octávio Paz, even Darío and Neruda are better than Marquez.

Here's one from his supposedly best book:

>y que en cualquier lugar en que estuvieran recordaran siempre que el pasado era mentira, que la memoria no tenía caminos de regreso, que toda primavera antigua era irrecuperable, y que el amor más desatinado y tenaz era de todos modos una verdad efímera.

It's so sentimental and cliché that it hurts to read. It's shit. I'd be ashamed to have written it.
Of course, Marquez has his moments, he's not bad at all, but calling him the greatest is so laughable and just proves your ignorance of Spanish literature and I am not even a Spanish speaker (my mother tongue is Portuguese).

>>19228768
>el amor más desatinado y tenaz era de todos modos una verdad efímera.

That's literally pastiche of those authors, though, but written much less talent.
In fact, you have never even read those authors. Saying Dante wrote in a way similar to Leopardi or Moliere is the greatest nonsense I've ever heard.

Did you ever even read them, you imbecile?
How the fuck is Dante similar to Leopardi or Moliere?
How the fuck is this:

Poi che la fiamma fu venuta quivi
dove parve al mio duca tempo e loco,
in questa forma lui parlare audivi:78

"O voi che siete due dentro ad un foco,
s’io meritai di voi mentre ch’io vissi,
s’io meritai di voi assai o poco81

quando nel mondo li alti versi scrissi,
non vi movete; ma l’un di voi dica
dove, per lui, perduto a morir gissi".84

Lo maggior corno de la fiamma antica
cominciò a crollarsi mormorando,
pur come quella cui vento affatica;87

indi la cima qua e là menando,
come fosse la lingua che parlasse,
gittò voce di fuori e disse: "Quando90

mi diparti’ da Circe, che sottrasse
me più d’un anno là presso a Gaeta,
prima che sì Enëa la nomasse,93

né dolcezza di figlio, né la pieta
del vecchio padre, né ’l debito amore
lo qual dovea Penelopè far lieta,96

vincer potero dentro a me l’ardore
ch’i’ ebbi a divenir del mondo esperto
e de li vizi umani e del valore;99

ma misi me per l’alto mare aperto
sol con un legno e con quella compagna
picciola da la qual non fui diserto.

Similar to this?

Ah ! tout doux ! envers lui, comme envers votre père,
Laissez agir les soins de votre belle-mère.
835Sur l’esprit de Tartuffe elle a quelque crédit,
Il se rend complaisant à tout ce qu’elle dit,
Et pourrait bien avoir douceur de cœur pour elle.
Plût à Dieu qu’il fût vrai ! la chose serait belle[1].
Enfin, votre intérêt l’oblige à le mander :
840Sur l’hymen qui vous trouble elle veut le sonder,
Savoir ses sentiments, et lui faire connaître
Quels fâcheux démêlés il pourra faire naître,
S’il faut qu’à ce dessein il prête quelque espoir.
Son valet dit qu’il prie, et je n’ai pu le voir ;
845Mais ce valet m’a dit qu’il s’en allait descendre.
Sortez donc, je vous prie, et me laissez l’attendre.

Go fuck yourself, and thank you for proving that Marquez fans are imbeciles.

One hundred years of solitude is extremely famous among normie women and that is apparently his best work. Marquezniggers need to stay in lane. Marquez is admired because he managed to get popular in western sphere on behalf of other more talented sudaca writers. They don't shill Borges to the same degree because white girls can't read him without giving the questionmark girl face.
