Innocent Erendira and Other Stories
Innocent Erendira and Other Stories is a collection of short stories from the Nobel Prize winner and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. 'Erendira was bathing her grandmother when the wind of misfortune began to blow' While her grotesque and demanding grandmother retires to bed, Erendira still has floors to wash, sheets to iron, and a peacock to feed. The never-ending chores leave the young girl so exhausted that's he collapses into bed with the candle still glowing on a nearby table - and is fast asleep when it topples over. . . Eight hundred and seventy-two thousand, three hundred and fifteen pesos, her grandmother calculates, is the amount that Eréndira must repay for the loss of the house. As she is dragged by her grandmother from town to town and hawked to soldiers, smugglers and traders, Erendira feels herself dying. Can the love of a virgin save the young whore from her hell? 'It becomes more and more fun to read. It shows what "fabulous" really means' Time Out 'Marquez writes in this lyrical, magical language that no-one else can do' Salman Rushdie 'One of this century's most evocative writers' Anne Tyler

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Updated Edition
Presents a collection of eleven critical essays on the works of Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
The Dialectics of Our America
Joining the current debates in American literary history, José David Saldívar offers a challenging new perspective on what constitutes not only the canon in American literature, but also the notion of America itself. His aim is the articulation of a fresh, transgeographical conception of American culture, one more responsive to the geographical ties and political crosscurrents of the hemisphere than to narrow national ideologies. Saldívar pursues this goal through an array of oppositional critical and creative practices. He analyzes a range of North American writers of color (Rolando Hinojosa, Gloria Anzaldúa, Arturo Islas, Ntozake Shange, and others) and Latin American authors (José Ma...
A Incrível e Triste História da Cândida Eréndira e da Sua Avó Desalmada
Bem ao estilo de Gabriel García Márquez, este livro reúne sete histórias mágicas que reflectem a cultura sul-americana. As primeiras, um conjunto de seis contos fantásticos onde se misturam acontecimentos surreais e detalhes do quotidiano, contam-nos as alterações sofridas por pequenas e pobres povoações após estranhos acontecimentos que mudam a vida de todos os habitantes. A última, a novela curta que dá título ao livro, conta a história de Eréndira, uma adolescente obrigada a prostituir-se pela própria avó para a recompensar das perdas decorrentes de um incêndio acidental - um bizarro mas poderoso exemplo do realismo mágico de García Márquez.
Tutti i racconti
Gabriel García Márquez aveva quarant'anni quando scrisse il celebre racconto Monologo di Isabel mentre vede piovere su Macondo, dove dà vita a quello strabiliante spazio narrativo, tanto immaginario quanto reale, che sarebbe diventato il più intenso luogo letterario del nostro tempo. Con Macondo, Márquez inaugurò l'epoca del realismo magico, la peculiare commistione tra la realtà drammatica dell'America Latina e la dimensione leggendaria e mitica che lo consacrò come uno dei massimi autori della letteratura mondiale. Da quel momento non smise più di raccontare il fascino e la purezza della cultura degli indios, i loro dolori malinconici e la dolce intensità dei Caraibi americani, c...
