«Doce cuentos peregrinos» is a short story collection by Gabriel García Márquez, published in 1992 by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (218 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together twelve stories about Latin Americans in Europe, marked by uprootedness, melancholy and the aspiration to rebuild their lives.

He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics.
