«Relato de un náufrago» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (183 pages, in Spanish).
It reconstructs the real testimony of Luis Alejandro Velasco, a Colombian sailor who survived ten days adrift on a raft in the Caribbean Sea after the sinking of his ship. Born from a journalistic report, the account shows the wait for rescue and hints at the contrast between the official version and the castaway's experience.
The book was originally published in 1970; this Círculo de Lectores edition is from 1984.
It is often used as school reading and is recommended for teenagers aged 13 to 14.
