Description
One of the most famous collections of stories by Márquez.
The great Colombian’s magical realism in these tales has been perfected. Márquez plays with plots and characters, blends the real and the fantastic, the grotesque and the everyday in the most unexpected proportions.
“Days After Saturday,” “Artificial Roses,” “There Are No Thieves in Our Town”—classic works of twentieth-century “short prose.” But the main jewel of the collection, of course, remains the story “The Funeral of the Great Mama,” which is among Márquez’s best works.
