Collected Stories

Autor Gabriel Garcia Marquez
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2027

Collected Stories brings together many of Gabriel García Márquez's spellbinding short stories, each brimming with a blend of the surreal, the magical, and the everyday that Nobel-Prize-winner and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude Márquez is known for.

Sweeping through crumbling towns, travelling fairs and windswept ports, Gabriel García Márquez introduces a host of extraordinary characters and communities in his mesmerizing tales of everyday life: smugglers, bagpipers, the President and Pope at the funeral of Macondo's revered matriarch; a every old angel with enormous wings, stranded in a young couple's back garden; a town plagued by dying birds that fall from the sky and an awestruck village captivated by a beautiful drowned sailor. Teeming with the magical oddities for which his novels are loved, Márquez's stories are a delight.

'These stories abound with love affairs, ruined beauty, and magical women. It is essence of Márquez' Guardian

'Of all the living authors known to me, only one is undoubtedly touched by genius: Gabriel García Márquez' Sunday Telegraph

'It becomes more and more fun to read. It shows what "fabulous" really means' Time Out

Recenzii

“The stories are rich and startling in their matter and confident and eloquent in their manner...They are the word cannot be avoided--magical.” — John Updike, The New Yorker
“García Márquez has extraordinary strength and firmness of imagination and writes with the calmness of a man who knows exactly what wonders he can perform.” — Alfred Kazin, New York Times Book Review
“It is the genius of García Márquez that fatalism and possibility somehow coexist, that dreams redeem, that there is laughter even in death.” — John Leonard, New York Times
