Keywords: Magic Realism, Garcia Marquez, Isabelle Allende, Laura Esquivel, Literature.  \nIntroduction  \n􀀥e phrase \"magic realism\" refers to a style of writing or method in which magical and supernatural occurrences are recounted realistically without regard for their improbability. It uses a novel mix of truth and fantasy to challenge the nature of reality and to bring attention to the process of creation. In 1925, German art critic Franz Roh used the term \"magical realism\" (Magischer Realismus) to characterise a return to a more realistic approach a􀀲er Expressionism's abstraction. (pg. 134). 􀀥is trend was initially established by Latin-American authors who used exceptional and mystical aspects to depict reality to demonstrate that their culture was alive and complex. It is believed to have started in the 1940s with the representative books Men of Maize and 􀀥e Kingdom of this World by Spanish American authors Miguel Angel Asturias and AlejoCarpentier, respectively. Many indigenous elements, such as folklore and cultural beliefs, as well as a specific geographical and political environment, were utilised by these authors. Characters transform into animals, slaves are aided by the dead, and time goes backward and occasionally reverses are all common themes in these books. With the release of Gabrial Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude in 1970, this trend gained popularity in English. Isabel Allende and Laura Esquivel are two female authors who utilised this approach.  \nGabriel Garcia Marquez, AlejoCarpentier, Mikhail Bulgakov, Miguel Angel Asturias, Carlo Fuentes, George Luis Borges, Isabel Allende, and Laura Esquivel are some of the most prominent writers of Magic Realism  \nPDF generated from XML JATS4R by Redalyc Project academic non-profit, developed under the open ","cbCaiildNUs4cN7J","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiildNUs4cN7J","pdf",229164,5,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Definition and origins of Magic Realism\n## Early Latin American development and major themes\n## Reception and expansion (English popularity)","[{\"question\":\"What does the article define as “magic realism”?\",\"answer\":\"Magic realism is described as a writing method where magical and supernatural events are narrated realistically, regardless of their improbability, blending truth and fantasy to question reality and the creative process.\"},{\"question\":\"Which authors are discussed as key figures in magical realism?\",\"answer\":\"The article focuses on Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, and Laura Esquivel, also referencing other prominent writers connected with the movement.\"},{\"question\":\"Which works does the article use to illustrate magical realist features?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights works including “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings,” “Like Water for Chocolate,” and “The House of the Spirits,” analyzing them for magical realist aspects.\"}]","Magic Realism in the Works of Isabel Allende and Gabriel García and Laura Esquivel -
