This complete collection of Garcia Marquez's short stories
emphasizes his place at the forefront of world literature. 'Magical
realism' may have become an overused term for South American
fiction, but it suits this author perfectly as he combines the
worlds of illusion and fairy-tale with gritty social and political
reality. From 'Eva is Inside Her Cat' to 'Innocent Erendira', the
stories are delivered with such majestic surrealism that the
reader's belief never wanes. Garcia Marquez writes with a
confidence found only in the greatest of storytellers. (Kirkus UK)
The twenty-six always compelling, often astonishing, stories in
this collection are published in chronological order, so readers
can appreciate the Nobel prize-winning writer's progress from early
experimentation, to full-blown magical realism. Each tale is not
just a read, but an experience: you join a community in the thrall
of a corpse in "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World"; sail
through "The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship" a five-page story
written as a single sentence, and feel your way, blinded, through
"The Night of the Curlews". 'A single sentence of Garcia Marquez
often has more meat to it than many whole novels' - "Observer".
