An exceptional collection that brings together all of the Nobel Laureate, Gabriel García Márquez’, stories. In this volume readers will find the first stories that García Márquez published in Ojos de Perro Azul / Eyes of a Blue Dog, including the “Monólogo de Isabel viendo llover en Macondo” / “Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo”, which is the first reference to the imaginary place that would become the most recognized literary space of our time after Cien años de soledad / One Hundred Years of Solitude was published. From then on, a series of stories followed that show García Márquez in total control of his narrative talent: “Los funerales de la Mamá Grande” / “Big Mama’s Funeral”, where the majestic funeral of the true sovereign of Macondo is told, and “La increíble y triste historia de la cándida Eréndira y su abuela desalmada” / “The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother”. Finally, the latest collection of stories that he published is also included here, “Doce cuentos peregrinos” / “Strange Pilgrims”, where he takes readers to Europe to tell stories of the fate of Latin American emigrants, their sadness, and tenacity. There are forty-one essential stories that run the entire trajectory of the author of Cien años de soledad / One Hundred Years of Solitude and one that constitutes an impressive legacy for world literature.
