Condition: Very Good
Description: Blue cloth with gilt lettering and green cover decoration. Hint of bump to head and heel of spine and tips of corners. Previous owner bookplate neatly adhered to front pastedown. Text is clean and white, no marks. Unclipped DJ with $6.50 price shows light rubbing to all edges, chips and small tears to head and heel of spine. "Leaf Storm (La Hojarsca) is the first book Márquez wrote. He began it when he was nineteen; it was published eith years later. Grim, iconic, powerful, Leaf Storm creates a mysterious and ominous atmosphere that lingers on the reader's mind. The six shorter stories are all marvelously original and different. They tell of such things as a drowned man whose appearance changes the life and patterns of a village, the strange last voyage of a ghost ship and a man with enormous wings. An experience that is enhanced by Gregory Rabassa's superb translation." (from the jacket)

Description: First American Edition. In dustjacket. Turquoise cloth binding with stamped, bird design to front cover and stamped, green and gilt lettering to spine. Beautiful leaf endpapers. Translated from Spanish by Gregory Rabassa. "Leaf Stormis the common translation forGabriel García Márquez'snovellaLa Hojarasca. First published in 1955,it took seven years to find a publisher. Widely celebrated as the first appearance ofMacondo, the fictitious village later made famous inOne Hundred Years of Solitude,Leaf Stormis a testing ground for many of the themes and characters later immortalized in said book. It is also the title of a short story collection by García Márquez. The other stories compiled in the English translation are "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World", "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings", "Blacaman the Good, Vendor of Miracles", "The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship", "The Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo", and "Nabo". Several of these short stories appeared elsewhere before being put into this compilation. "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" first appeared inPlayboymagazine in 1971. "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" first appeared in New American Review and "Blacaman the Good, Vendor of Miracles" was first published in Esquire Magazine. The narrative ofLeaf Stormshifts between the perspectives of three generations of one family as the three characters (father, daughter and grandson respectively) find themselves in a spiritual limbo after the death of a man passionately hated by the entire village yet inextricably linked to the patriarch of the family."

Condition: Fine
Description: A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. This is Garcia Marquez's third book and the seven stories include: Leaf Storm, The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World, A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings, Blacaman the Good, Vendor of Miracles, The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship, Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo, Nabo. "Leaf Storm and Other Stories" was Marquez's first book, begun when he was 19. In some of these beautiful early stories Marquez's typical double vision of the natural world as inherently a fable, a story to be told and retold rather than something "real," expresses itself with perfect charm.
