About this book

A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings (Marquez 2014) by Marquez, Gabriel Garcia. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780241969588.

Subtitled "A Tale for Children". First published in 1955 in Spanish and then published in English in the 1972 book, Leaf Storm and Other Stories. Strange, wondrous things happen in these two short stories, which are both the perfect introduction to Gabriel García Márquez, and a wonderful read for anyone who loves the magic and marvels of his novels. After days of rain, a couple find an old man with huge wings in their courtyard in A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings -- but is he an angel? Accompanying A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings is the short story The Sea of Lost Time, in which a seaside town is brought back to life by a curious smell of roses.
