$9.90
Leaf Storm
Leaf Storm

Fables rooted in magical South American rainstorm.

If you're intrigued by the blending of the everyday with the magical, "Leaf Storm" by Gabriel García Márquez could offer you just that enthralling mix. It's not just about the surreal meeting the mundane, but also a deeper dive into the human condition amidst extraordinary circumstances, all told with the rich tapestry of Marquez's prose. This collection might be right for you if you're looking to be whisked away to a world where the fantastic seems all too familiar.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

As a blizzard of warehouses and amusement parlours and slums descends on the small town of Macondo, the inhabitants reel at the accompanying stench of rubbish that makes their home unrecognisable. When the banana company leaves town as fast as it arrived, all they are left with is a void of decay. Living in this devastated and soulless wasteland is one last honourable man, the Colonel, who is determined to fulfil a long-standing promise, no matter how unpalatable it may be. With the death of the detested Doctor, he must provide an honourable burial - and incur the wrath of the rest of Macondo, who would rather see the Doctor rot, forgotten and unattended.
