About This Item
London : Jonathan Cape, (1971). First British edition. The title-story and the eight short stories of the "Big Mama's Funeral" sequence, first published in Colombia and Mexico in 1961-1962. "One of the richest pieces of writing this exceptional author has produced" (Victoria Brittain in the Illustrated London News, 1st October 1971). The second of his books (and the first of his short stories) to appear in a British edition, the translations those of J. S. Bernstein first published in the United States. Márquez was awarded the Nobel in 1982 "for his novels and short stories, in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination". Post 8vo (21cm). [vi],170pp. Original black boards, blocked and lettered in gilt; top edge red; a few tiny marks, but a very good copy indeed in the Toni Evora dust-jacket - also very good. Neat ownership inscription of Kiernan Ryan.
