Translated from Spanish by Tea Gvasalia

 

12 short stories by Gabriel García Márquez who worked on them for eighteen years, twelve masterpieces about the Latin Americans living in Europe, their adventures, persistence, grief and melancholy.

 

Emigrants bring life into the surrealistic events and pass it to those around them. A Brazilian prostitute is choosing a place for eternal rest and trains her dog to grieve her death. A man trying to meet the Pope in Castel Gandolfo carries his daughter’s incorrupt body in a pine suitcase. A family of tourists in Tuscany meets a ghost in the house where the Venezuelan writer lives. In Geneva an emergency car driver and his wife are caring for a moribund ex-president of a small Caribbean country.
