Answer:
1. Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombia)
Everybody knows Gabriel Garcia Marquez – it’s hard not to. His most famous novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, came out in 1967 and left the whole world in awe. The novel details the life of the Buendia family over seven generations and is claimed to be “the greatest revelation in the Spanish language” since Don Quixote and “the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race”, according to The Guardian. And these two sound like statements that are hard to beat, aren’t they?

2. Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina)
Mainly a short-story writer, Borges was a key figure in the Spanish-language literature. Educated in Switzerland, fluent in 5 languages, exceptionally well-traveled and impressively intelligent, Borges became a published writer in 1920s when he finally returned to Argentina. A poet, an essayist, a librarian and a public speaker, he was fast becoming famous — but also gradually becoming blind, Already by his 50ies, Borges completely lost his eyesight. Which was, as many critics suggest, exactly what helped the writer to come up with innovative literary symbols since the only thing that was left for him was his imagination.
Considered one of the most famous Latin American authors of all time, Borges’ most notable works include Fictions (1944), The Aleph (1949), and Labyrinths (1962), among others.

3. Pablo Neruda (Chile)
A poet, a diplomat and a politician, Neruda’s real name was actually Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, whereas his pen name was borrowed from the Czech poet Jan Neruda, whom, funnily enough, nobody is really aware of. Pablo Neruda became a known poet when he was still a teenager. The work that earned him world recognition was Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, published in 1924 when he was just 20 years old. Gabriel Garcia Marques called Neruda “the greatest poet of the 20th century — in any language”.

4. Mario Vargas Llosa (Peru)
Vargas Llosa is considered as one of the leading writers of his generation and most significant novelists in South America. He rose to fame in 1960 with his comedies, murder mysteries, historical novels and political thrillers – his talent knows no limitations in literary genre. Like many of his fellow Latin American authors, Mario Vargas Llosa has always been interested in politics, and even ran for president of Peru in 1990. He was unsuccessful, unfortunately — perhaps because he was too good of a writer?

5. Octavio Paz (Mexico)
Octavio Paz’ first introduction to the world of fiction happened in his early childhood: his grandfather was the owner of a huge library filled with classic Mexican and European literature. Just like Neruda, Paz became a published writer during his teenage years, so by his early twenties he was already a recognized poet. And again, just like Neruda, his spark and talent were used by the government for diplomatic purposes, which was the reason Paz spent a lot of time abroad away from Mexico. Nevertheless, his homeland was always the underlying motive of his works, which are now known as “the portrait of Mexican personality” (according to his obituary in Americas).
