«Empresas y tribulaciones de Maqroll el Gaviero» is the collection of novels by Álvaro Mutis, published by Debolsillo in paperback (928 pages, in Spanish).
Maqroll el Gaviero is a sailor who scans the horizon from the crow's nest and sees before anyone else what is approaching; a vision that cannot be conveyed. The seven novels in this volume follow Maqroll through ports, seas, and remote places, in search of a lost paradise.
The work is part of the series «The Adventures and Misadventures of Maqroll the Gaviero» and includes an epilogue by Gabriel García Márquez; it was originally published in 1993.
For readers interested in Latin American narrative, literary fiction, and twentieth-century classics.
