«Strange Pilgrims» is Gabriel García Márquez's collection of twelve stories published by Penguin Books in paperback (208 pages, in English).
The twelve stories bring together Latin Americans in Europe facing nostalgia, uprootedness and vulnerability far from home. A prostitute who teaches her dog to weep at her grave, a husband terrified by his wife's wound and an old man rambling on a long-haul flight show Márquez's humour, warmth and colourful prose.
Published in 1994, this English edition translates «Doce cuentos peregrinos»; the translation is by Edith Grossman.
For readers of short stories and the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel Prize in Literature.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
