Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s most political novel tells the tragic story of General Simon Bolivar, the man who tried to unite a continent. Bolivar, who drove the Spanish from South America, where he is still known as ‘the Liberator’, is in Garcia Marquez’s brilliant re-imagining a hero who is also magnificently flawed. The novel follows his final journey down the Magdalena river in 1830, revisiting the scenes of his former glory and lamenting his lost dream of an alliance of American nations. Forced from power, dogged by assassins, prematurely aged and wasted by a fatal illness, the General is still a remarkably vital and mercurial man, who seems to remain alive by the sheer force of will that led him in the past to so many victories in both love and war. The General in his Labyrinth is an unforgettable portrait of a visionary from one of the greatest writers of our time. Gabriel Garcia Marquez was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.

Strange Pilgrims is a collection of unforgettable stories about distinctive South American individuals in Europe from the Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. 'The first thing Senora 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.
