‘Game of Thrones’ has been the rage ever since it was introduced. The adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s book series ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ took the world by storm. Fantasy elements like dragons, sorceresses, white-walkers, dwarfs, and many more clubbed with an intricately woven plot line that borrowed realistic elements from Medieval Europe made the show an instant hit with the audiences. Combining the real with fantasy elements contributed to their popularity. However, Gabriel Garcia Marquez did it before it was cool!
Marquez is a Mexican author whose works have been translated widely and his first novella was published in 1955. Since then, he has championed the genre of magical realism wherein he combines elements of the physical world with fantastic ones, giving shape to a new reality. Here are five of his best books that will take you back to ‘Game of Thrones’!
