Olhos de cão azul is a collection of short stories by the renowned Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. Published in 2007 by Dom Quixote, these stories, written between 1947 and 1955, offer a vision of the inner world of the characters, reflecting reality in a distorted but plausible way. Set in a hostile tropical environment, the stories explore themes of drought, heat, and death through austere and pathetic characters. This collection also serves as an introduction to the mythical world of the town of Macondo, which appears in 'Isabel viendo llover en Macondo'.
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.
