Gabriel García Márquez (1927-2014) was a writer and journalist. Born in Colombia, he spent much of his life living and working abroad, eventually settling in Mexico. He was the author of numerous novels, including the well-known One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera. Márquez won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982.

Boards with a light scuff to front cover, minor rubbing to edges, and spine with ends slightly thumbed and some separation from text block; a couple of small marks otherwise text block is pristine; the jacket with light allover scuffing and very minor edge wear; slipcase with light shelf wear. A very good to near fine copy of this beautiful production.
