«Ojos de perro azul» is a collection of short stories by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Grijalbo Mondadori in paperback (105 pages, in Spanish).
Early short stories by Gabriel García Márquez that explore solitude, death, and a reality distorted by the consciousness of their characters, set against the tropics and Macondo. They include 'Monólogo de Isabel viendo llover en Macondo', a precursor to the universe the author would develop in 'Cien años de soledad'.
Written and published between 1947 and 1955, the stories were first collected in book form in 1974. The present edition is from 1989.
For readers interested in García Márquez's literary beginnings and the magical realism that made him famous.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. 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. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
