Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Printing. 188 Pages. Minor cover edge wear. No other noted defects. The twelve stories in this shimmering new collection from the author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera feature Latin American characters adrift in Europe. A bereaved father comes to Rome for an audience with the Pope, carrying a box the shape and size of a cello case. An aging streetwalker waits for death in a Barcelona apartment with a dog she has trained to weep at her grave. A panic-stricken husband takes his wife to a Parisian hospital for the treatment of a cut finger and never sees her again. Combining terror and nostalgia, surreal comedy and the poetry of the commonplace, Strange Pilgrims is a triumph of narrative sorcery by one of our foremost magicians of the written word.

Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition Stated. 483 Pages not Indexed. Maroon boards with silver spine and front lettering. Tight square book with no defects noted. In this long-awaited first volume of a planned trilogy, Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez begins to tell the story of his own life. It spans his birth in 1927, the start of his career as a writer, and the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to the woman who would become his wife. It has the shape, the quality, and the vividness of a conversation with the reader, a tale of people, places, and events as they occur to him: the colorful stories of his eccentric family members; the great influence of his mother and maternal grandfather; his consuming career in journalism, and the friends and mentors who encouraged him; the myths and mysteries of his beloved Colombia; personal details, undisclosed until now, that would appear later, transmuted and transposed, in his fiction; and, above all, his fervent desire to become a writer. And, as in his fiction, the narrator here is an inspired observer of the physical world, able to make clear the emotions and passions that lie at the heart of a life, in this instance, his own. This a radiant, powerful, and beguiling memoir that gives us the formation of the author as a writer and as a man.…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First American Edition Stated. 291 Pages not Indexed. This book tells the true story of the 1990 kidnappings of ten Colombian men and women all journalists but one, by the Medellin drug boss Pablo Escobar. These abductions were Escobar's attempt to extort the government's assurance that he and his henchmen would not be extradited to the United States if they surrendered. This bizarre story combines journalistic tenacity with breathtaking language and perception that distinguish the writings of Gabriel Garcia Márquez. It is populated with characters such as César Gaviria, the nation's cool and secretive president; Diana Turbay, a famous television journalist and magazine editor; three indomitable women who are imprisoned for months in a small room with a light perpetually on; an eighty-two-year-old priest with a mission to bring the regime and the cartel to the negotiating table; and Escobar himself, the legendary drug baron who changes his bodyguards daily and maintains a private zoo with giraffes and hippos from Africa. All of this takes place in a country where presidential candidates and cabinet officers are routinely assassinated; where police go into the Medellin slums to murder boys they think may be working for Escobar; but where brave and honest citizens are trying desperately to make democracy survive. Sadly this only one epsode in the biblical holocaust that has been consuming Colombia for more than 20 years. The author was born in his beloved Columbia in 1927 and studied law and journalism at the National University of Columbia. No one is more qualified nor as capable as the author to relate this unbelievable tale of a nation's decimation. Marquez received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.…
