A Collection of Short Stories

About this book

An enchanting new collection of twenty-nine short stories from Nobel Prize–winning author Gabriel García Márquez, a master storyteller who "forces upon us at every page the wonder and extravagance of life" (New York Review of Books)

Spanning more than two decades, this collection combines humor, history, and mysticism to tell stories about the frightfully poor and outrageously rich, lost opportunities and present joys, memories, illusions, death, and other themes that resound throughout García Márquez's fiction.

Stories include:

"The Third Resignation""Eva Is Inside Her Cat""Tubal-Cain Forges a Star""The Other Side of Death""Dialogue with the Mirror""Bitterness for Three Sleepwalkers""How Nathanael Makes a Visit""Eyes of a Blue Dog""The Woman Who Came at Six O'clock""The Night of the Curlews""Someone Has Been Disarranging These Roses""Nabo: The Black Man Who Made the Angels Wait""A Man Arrives in the Rain""Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo""Tuesday Siesta""One of These Days""There Are No Thieves in This Town""Balthazar's Marvelous Afternoon""Montiel's Widow""One Day after Saturday""Artificial Roses""Big Mama's Funeral""A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings""The Sea of Lost Time""The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World""Death Constant beyond Love""The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship""Blacamán the Good, Vendor of Miracles""The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Eréndira and Her Heartless Grandmother
