Abstract: Marquez was greatly influenced by the stories that he heard in childhood in his native Arcataca. As an author he always felt the Latin American reality to be beyond the grasp of the dominant historiographers or colonizers. He rejected the objectivity of a singular history. In his novels he tries to reflect a reality that is based on stories, myths and memories. In a sense he tried to reflect the marginalized history through his false memories.

Keywords: reality, memory, magic, history.
