Product Description

Product Description

In May 2005 Penguin will publish 70 unique titles to celebrate the company's 70th birthday. The titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth of quality of the Penguin list and will hark back to Penguin founder Allen Lane's vision of good books for all'. Marquez is perhaps the most acclaimed, revered and widely read writer of our time, and in Seventeen Poisoned Englishmen, we present several short stories that reveal the range and depth found in one of modern literature's greatest authors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a brilliant exemplar of his work , 13 April 2007
By Ruffian McRuffian (South London) - See all my reviews
The García Marquez volume of the Penguin Pocket series contains four short stories - `Seventeen Poisoned Englishmen', "I Only Came to Use the Phone", `The Woman Who Came at Six O'clock', `Light is Like Water'- none of which is over twenty pages in length. The stories are typical of Marquez's magical realist style, but lack the quality of many of his other works. The stories are worth reading if you love everything Marquez writes, but if you're looking for a light introduction to his work read 'No One Writes to the Colonel' or 'Of Love and Other Demons' instead.

Moreover, it's worth noting that three of the four stories from this Penguin Pocket volume are featured in Marquez's `Strange Pilgrims' (published by Penguin), while `The Woman Who Came at Six O'clock' appears in his `Collected Stories' (published by Penguin). Consequently, there seems little point in buying this diminutive text if you own the aforementioned books.
