Una edición conmemorativa de El amor en los tiempos del cólera, un gran clásico de Gabriel García Márquez y una novela imprescindible de la literatura contemporánea. Tras la espectacular edición conmemorativa de Cien años de soledad, la artista chilena Luisa Rivera vuelve a rendir homenaje a García Márquez con una serie de ilustraciones inéditas que recrean el extraordinario universo del autor. "Era inevitable: el olor de las almendras amargas le recordaba siempre el destino de los amores contrariados." Así empieza una de las historias de amor más maravillosas de la literatura universal. Un amor no correspondido durante medio siglo con un pueblecito portuario del Caribe como escenario. El Nobel colombiano nos presenta la mágica relación entre Fermina Daza y Florentino Ariza como una mezcla tropical de plantas y arcilla que el maestro moldea y con las que fantasea a su placer entre los territorios del mito y la leyenda. Los jugos, olores y sabores del trópico alimentan una prosa única y original que se ha ganado el favor de millones de lectores en todo el mundo.

A New York Times Notable Book

On the eve of his ninetieth birthday a bachelor decides to give himself a wild night of love with a virgin. As is his habit–he has purchased hundreds of women–he asks a madam for her assistance. The fourteen-year-old girl who is procured for him is enchanting, but exhausted as she is from caring for siblings and her job sewing buttons, she can do little but sleep. Yet with this sleeping beauty at his side, it is he who awakens to a romance he has never known.

Tender, knowing, and slyly comic, Memories of My Melancholy Whores is an exquisite addition to the master’s work.

"El año de mis noventa años quise regalarme una noche de amor con una adolescente virgen."

Un viejo periodista decide festejar sus noventa años a lo grande, dándose un regalo que le hará sentir que todavía está vivo: una jovencita. En el prostíbulo de un pintoresco pueblo, ve a la jovencita de espaldas, completamente desnuda, y su vida cambia radicalmente. Ahora que la conoce se encuentra a punto de morir, pero no por viejo, sino de amor.

Así, Memoria de mis putas tristes cuenta la vida de este anciano solitario lleno de manñas. Por él sabremos cómo en todas sus aventuras sexuales (que no fueron pocas) siempre dio a cambio algo de dinero, pero nunca imagino que de ese modo encontraría el verdadero amor.

Esta nueva novela es una conmovedora reflexión que celebra las alegrías del enamoramiento y contempla las desventuras de la vejez, escrito en el estilo incomparable de Gabriel García Márquez.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"In my ninetieth year, I decided to give myself the gift of a night of love with a young virgin."

An elderly journalist decides to celebrate his 90 years in a grand way, giving himself a present that will make him feel like he's still alive: a virgin. In the brothel of a picturesque town, he sees the young woman from the back, completely naked, and his life changes radically. Now that he meets her he finds himself close to dying, not of old age, but rather of love.

Memoria de mis putas tristes is the story of this eccentric, solitary old man, a narrative of his sexual adventures (of which there were many), for which he always paid, never imagining that this would be the way he would discover true love.

This new novel, written in Gabriel García Márquez's incomparable style movingly, contemplates the misfortunes of old age and celebrates the joys of being in love.

Memoria de Mis Putas Tristes / Memories of My Melancholy Whores

Bitten by a rabid dog in colonial South America, twelve-year-old Sierva Marâia is sent to a convent to endure torturous therapies and meets bookish Father Cayetano Delaura, with whom she shares a doomed affair.

The Adventures of Miguel Littin

In 1973, the film director Miguel Littín fled Chile after a U.S.-supported military coup toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. The new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Littín returned to Chile disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he’d been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries, each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism, he would secretly put together a film that would tell the truth about Pinochet’s benighted Chile—a film that would capture the world’s attention while landing the general and his secret police with a very visible black eye. Afterwards, the great novelist Gabriel García Márquez sat down with Littín to hear the story of his escapade, with all its scary, comic, and not-a-little surreal ups and downs. Then, applying the same unequaled gifts that had already gained him a Nobel Prize, García Márquez wrote it down. Clandestine in Chile is a true-life adventure story and a classic of modern reportage.
