Sobre este artículo
New York City, NY: Harper & Row, 1978. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Harper & Row, 1978. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 183 pages. Retrospective collection of short stories. One of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "La increible y triste historia de la candida Erendira y de su abuela desalmada" in the definitive English translation by Gregory Rabassa. A masterly novella (translates in full as "The Incredible And Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira And Her Heartless Grandmother") and eleven, brilliant short stories that do NOT have an equivalent volume in the Spanish original. This abundant selection represents the great author's early and mid-career works, between 1950 and 1970, a rich harvest. The eponymous novella concerns a young girl who dreams of freedom, but cannot escape the reach of her vicious grandmother, a characteristic Garcia Marquez theme about power and oppression. The other pieces include "The Sea of Lost Time"; "Death Constant Beyond Love"; "The Third Resignation"; "The Other Side of Death"; "Eva Is Inside Her Cat"; and "Dialogue With The Mirror". An absolute "must-have" title for Gabriel Garcia Marquez collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available and is in fine condition overall: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0060114169.
Sinopsis
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 Erendira 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).
