He began it when he was nineteen and it was published eight years later. It is set in Macondo, the town already familiar to readers of the fabulous One Hundred Years of Solitude, and covers the flux of its fortunes between 1903 and 1928. Three narrators - father, daughter and grandson - recall the town's long feud with an eccentric, grass-eating French doctor who once refused to tend some wounded men. When the doctor hangs himself, the townspeople will not let him be buried. It is left to the old colonel, whose life was once saved by the strange physician, to dissuade them from their bitter revenge. ***The six shorter stories in this volume, written in more recent years, are all marvelously original. One story is about a drowned man whose magnificent appearance awakens the inhabitants of a fishing village to the meanness of their own lives; others tell of the strange last voyage of a ghost ship and of the poor couple who find a fallen angel on the beach. ***Displaying both the earlier and later styles of Gabriel García Márquez, the maturing of his imagination, Leaf Storm is further testimony to the genius of a brilliant myth-maker, a master fabulist.' (Quotes taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***First impression of the first UK edition very hard to find in its original dustwrapper in collectable condition. An uncommon book now in first edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
