Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Contains: "Leaf Storm," "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World," "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings," "Blacaman the Good," "Vendor of Miracles," "The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship," "Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo, Nabo."

Review:

"As with Emerson, Poe, Hawthorne, every sentence breaks the silence of a vast emptiness, the famous new world of solitude that is the unconscious despair of his characters but the sign of Marquez's genius." The New York Times Book Review

Review:

"For Garcia Marquez the world contains mysteries that we can easily live with, but also miracles that we cannot understand...Leaf Storm, then, brings together both Garcia Marquez's early and late styles. The former deserves our respect, the latter requires our celebration." Newsweek

Contains Leaf Storm , The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World , A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings , Blacaman the Good , Vendor of Miracles , The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship , Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo , Nabo

It was a great book of short stories. Marquez is a brilliant writer, with a lot of insight on Colombia.
