Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition. Translated from the Spanish by J. S. Bernstein. The author's second book to be published in the UK, after "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which was published in 1970. The book comprises of nine short st…ories, which were originally issued in Colombia as a novella in 1961 (the title story of this collection), and in the short story collection "Big Mama's Funeral" in 1962. ***Very good in dark grey cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. Top edge of text-block stained dark red by the publisher. Boards clean and unmarked. Extremities of spine slightly rubbed. Corners of front board slightly creased. Boards slightly rubbed at the edges. No reading lean to the binding. Internally near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. No creases or tears. ***In a very good colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £1.50 net. The dustwrapper is complete, with the extremities just slightly rubbed and creased, but with a 3cm closed tear to the bottom edge of the front panel, and a 1.5cm closed tear to the top edge of the back panel adjoining the spine. The extremities of the head and tail of the spine and the corners of the dustwrapper are slightly worn and rubbed. Tiny loss to the corner tips of the dustwrapper. Justv minimal fading to the bright colours of the dustwrapper on the spine. Dustwrapper otherwise bright and clean. ***204mm x 140mm. 170 pages. ***'"One Hundred Years of Solitude" was hailed as 'a classic on the grandest scale' by one of Latin America's greatest writers. Gabriel García Márquez is a spellbinding storyteller, a masterly weaver of words, themes and the moods of light and shade. ***As in that bestselling masterpiece, the subject of the title story is this superb collection is life in the decaying Columbian town of Macondo - the cycle of hope and despair, tragedy and comedy, that visit the inhabitants with the regularity of the rains and the heat that dominate their lives. The Colonel, a Quixotic figure burdened with extreme poverty and an asthmatic wife, languishes on faded dreams of his revolutionary past. He cherishes as his one tangible asset a skinny, long-legged fighting cock which for him, and indeed for the whole town, has become the symbol for defiance in the face of despair. ***Other stories tell of town and village life in South America, of the desperately poor and the outrageously rich, of memories and illusions, lost opportunities and present joy. "No One Writes to the Colonel" is a fitting companion volume to "One Hundred Years of Solitude", for here is all the compassion, the wit, the magical invention that established that novel as one of the finest of its time.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its original dustwrapper, in very good condition, albeit with the above mentioned faults. Of interest to collectors of Gabriel García Márquez and Latin American literature. This early Márquez title is becoming increasingly hard to find now, and the dustwrapper is very prone to tears and chipping, which means that presentable copies are even harder to track down. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
