Description

Marquez Day- A celebration of one of the world's most loved writers available in ebook for the first time Sweeping through crumbling towns, travelling fairs and windswept ports, Gabriel Garcia Marquez introduces a host of extraordinary characters and communities in his mesmerising tales of everyday life- smugglers, bagpipers, the President and Pope at the funeral of Macondo's revered matriarch; a very old angel with enormous wings. Teeming with the magical oddities for which his novels are loved, Marquez's stories are a delight. Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Collected Stories are re-issued on Gabriel Garcia Marquez 's birthday to celebrate the publication of his books as ebooks for the first time.
