Magic and Memory: The Essential Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Marquez transformed the novel with his blend of myth, memory, and the supernatural. This challenge collects his most essential books — from the sweeping family epic of One Hundred Years of Solitude to the lean, devastating Chronicle of a Death Foretold.
