In the title story, The Incredible and Sad Tale of Innocent Erendira and Her Heartless Grandmother, a young girl accidentally burns down her grandmother's house and is forced into a life of slavery and prostitution to repay her debt. The atmosphere evoked is reminiscent of lives stifled by past glories and the indefinite, bleak future that Márquez painted so vividly in his masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude. As in all his work, Marquez continues to explore the real and the unreal worlds. They are worlds of contrast: sea and desert, time and timelessness, reality and illusion. But these worlds are inseparable--- ' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its dustwrapper, in bright condition. Of interest to collectors of Gabriel García Márquez and Latin American literature. ***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.
