Marquez Gabriel Garcia Strange Pilgrims
Strange Pilgrims is a collection of unforgettable stories about distinctive South American individuals in Europe from the Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. 'The first thing Senora Prudencia Linero noticed when she reached the port of Naples was that it had the same smell as the port of Riohacha' The twelve stories here tell of Latin Americans adrift in Europe: a bereaved father in Rome for an audience with the Pope carries a box shaped like a cello case; an aging streetwalker waits for death in Barcelona with a dog trained to weep at her grave; a panic-stricken husband takes his wife to a Parisian hospital to treat a cut and never sees her again. Combining terror and nostalgia, surreal comedy and the poetry of the commonplace, Strange Pilgrims is a triumph of storytelling by our most brilliant writer.

Marquez Gabriel Garcia Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit
Das Jahrhundertbuch in einer meisterhaften Neuubersetzung Mit seinem Roman »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit«, der sich weltweit mehr als 30 Millionen Mal verkaufte, gelang Gabriel Garcia Marquez 1967 der Durchbruch als Schriftsteller. Die Familiensaga um das kolumbianische Dorf Macondo gehort inzwischen zu den modernen Klassikern der Weltliteratur. Zum Jubilaum erscheint der Roman jetzt in einer kongenialen Neuubersetzung von Dagmar Ploetz. »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit« erzahlt die Geschichte vom Aufstieg und Niedergang der Familie Buendia und des von ihr gegrundeten Dorfes Macondo, das zunachst wie das Paradies erscheint. Abgeschnitten vom Rest der Welt durch Sumpfe, Urwald und eine undurchdringliche Sierra, ist es der Ort, an dem sich alle Traume, Alptraume und Entdeckungen des Menschen noch einmal zu wiederholen scheinen. Starker als die bisherige deutsche Fassung arbeitet die Neuubersetzung der vielfach ausgezeichneten Ubersetzerin und Garcia-Marquez-Spezialistin Dagmar Ploetz die unterschiedlichen stilistischen Ebenen des Romans heraus: pathetisch, witzig, lapidar, episch, poetisch. So gelingt ein Blick auf die Welt, der auch den Erfahrungen des 21. Jahrhunderts noch muhelos standhalt. Ein Klassiker, den zu lesen sich lohnt: immer noch und immer wieder.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's News of a Kidnapping is a powerful retelling of actual events from a turbulent period of Colombian history. 'She looked over her shoulder before getting into the car to be sure no one was following her' Pablo Escobar: billionaire drugs baron, ruthless manipulator brutal killer and jefe of the infamous Madellin cartel. A man whose importance in the international drug trade and renown for his charitable work among the poor brought him influence and power in his home country of Colombia, and the unwanted attention of the American courts.

In the winter of 1990, ten relatives of Colombian politicians, mostly women, were abducted and held hostage as Escobar attempted to strong-arm the government into blocking his extradition. Two died, the rest survived, and from their harrowing stories Marquez retells, with vivid clarity, the terror and uncertainty of those dark an volatile months.
