Gabriel García Márquez: "The Soul of Latin America" Cosmopolitan

As a master of magical realism, Gabriel García Márquez shines in this collection of his best stories, which is now available in a beautifully designed and affordable edition, following the successful releases of stories by Heinrich Böll and Joseph Roth. The tales in this volume are thematically and stylistically intertwined. Time and again, the people from his universe appear in various situations, whether as main characters or as supporting figures. The initial, youthful and melancholic texts are set in a fantastical reality, but they already hint at the Macondo myth from One Hundred Years of Solitude. Readers will then encounter members of the Buendía family in the stories that emerged in the context of this monumental novel.
