Strange Pilgrims is a collection of unforgettable stories about distinctive South American individuals in Europe from the Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. 'The first thing Señora Prudencia Linero noticed when she reached the port of Naples was that it had the same smell as the port of Riohacha'The twelve stories here tell of Latin Americans adrift in Europe: a bereaved father in Rome for an audience with the Pope carries a box shaped like a cello case; an aging streetwalker waits for death in Barcelona with a dog trained to weep at her grave; a panic-stricken husband takes his wife to a Parisian hospital to treat a cut and never sees her again. Combining terror and nostalgia, surreal comedy and the poetry of the commonplace, Strange Pilgrims is a triumph of storytelling by our most brilliant writer.'Celebratory and full of strange relish at life's oddness, the stories draw their strength from Márquez's generous feel for character, good and bad, boorish and innocent' William Boyd'The most important writer of fiction in any language' Bill Clinton'Often touching, often funny, always unexpected, the experience is as enriching as travel itself' New Statesman

Gabriel García Márquez's News of a Kidnapping is a powerful retelling of actual events from a turbulent period of Colombian history. 'She looked over her shoulder before getting into the car to be sure no one was following her'Pablo Escobar: billionaire drugs baron, ruthless manipulator brutal killer and jefe of the infamous Madellín cartel. A man whose importance in the international drug trade and renown for his charitable work among the poor brought him influence and power in his home country of Colombia, and the unwanted attention of the American courts. Terrified of the new Colombian President's determination to extradite him to America, Escobar found the best bargaining tools he could find: hostages. In the winter of 1990, ten relatives of Colombian politicians, mostly women, were abducted and held hostage as Escobar attempted to strong-arm the government into blocking his extradition. Two died, the rest survived, and from their harrowing stories Márquez retells, with vivid clarity, the terror and uncertainty of those dark an volatile months.'Reads with an urgency which belongs to the finest fiction. I have never read anything which gave a better sense of the way Colombia was in worst times' Daily Telegraph'Compellingly readable. A book with all the panache of Márquez's fiction, hitting home rather harder' Sunday Times'A piece of remarkable investigative journalism made all the more brilliant by the author's talent for magical storytelling' Financial Times

Nobel Prize winner and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel García Márquez blends the natural with supernatural in Of Love and Other Demons - a novel which explores community, superstition and collective hysteria. 'An ash-grey dog with a white blaze on its forehead burst on to the rough terrain of the market on the first Sunday of December'When a witch doctor appears on the Marquis de Casalduero's doorstep prophesising a plague of rabies in the Colombian seaport, he dismisses her claims - until he hears that his young daughter, Sierva María, was one of four people bitten by a rabid dog, and the only one to survive. Sierva María appears completely unscathed - but as rumours of the plague spread, the Marquis and his wife wonder at her continuing good health. In a town consumed by superstition, it's not long before they, and everyone else, put her survival down to a demonic possession and begin to see her supernatural powers as the cause of the town's woes. Only the young priest charged with exorcizing the evil spirit recognises the girl's sanity, but can he convince the town that it's not her that needs healing?'Superb and intensely readable' Time Out'A compassionate, witty and unforgettable masterpiece' Daily Telegraph'At once nostalgic and satiric, a resplendent fable' Sunday Times

Gabriel García Márquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, explores the loneliness of power in Autumn of the Patriarch.'Over the weekend the vultures got into the presidential palace by pecking through the screens on the balcony windows and the flapping of their wings stirred up the stagnant time inside'As the citizens of an unnamed Caribbean nation creep through dusty corridors in search of their tyrannical leader, they cannot comprehend that the frail and withered man lying dead on the floor can be the self-styled General of the Universe. Their arrogant, manically violent leader, known for serving up traitors to dinner guests and drowning young children at sea, can surely not die the humiliating death of a mere mortal? Tracing the demands of a man whose egocentric excesses mask the loneliness of isolation and whose lies have become so ingrained that they are indistinguishable from truth, Márquez has created a fantastical portrait of despotism that rings with an air of reality.'Delights with its quirky humanity and black humour and impresses by its total originality' Vogue 'Captures perfectly the moral squalor and political paralysis that enshrouds a society awaiting the death of a long-term dictator' Guardian'Márquez writes in this lyrical, magical language that no-one else can do' Salman Rushdie

En av de fineste kjærlighetsromanene som er skrevet på spansk og et av høydepunktene i nobelprisvinner Gabriel García Márquez' diktning. Under forsøket på å fange en rømt papegøye faller doktor Juvena Urbino ned fra en stige og dør. Slik blir Fermina Daza enke. Allerede morgenen etter likvaken tropper den 76-årige Florentino Ariza opp hos henne. Etter at Fermina avviste ham for nøyaktig 51 år, 9 måneder og 4 dager siden, har han vært besatt av henne. Herfra nøster García Márquez opp den vel 50 år lange historien, en stor og frodig fortelling om det mest altoppslukende av alt: kjærligheten - og dens mange avtegninger. Beretningen om Fermina Daza, doktor Urbino og Florentino Ariza er en av de fineste kjærlighetsromaner som er skrevet på spansk. Ved siden av Hundre års ensomhet er den regnet som høydepunktet i nobelprisvinner Gabriel García Márquez' diktning." Det er en grensesprengende kjærlighetshistorie, besettende og drivende godt skrevet." Johan Fr. Heyerdahl, Aftenposten.
