Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A brilliantly moving tour de force.”
—A.S. Byatt, The New York Times Book Review

“A work of considerable beguilement and edge. . . . García Márquez retains a vital and remarkable voice, and the pen of an angel.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Captivating. . . . Evokes the texture of a civilization, while its emotional range, from the comic to the mystical, exhibits a reach rarely found in fictions on a larger scale.”
—The Boston Globe

“Luminous. . . . Demonstrates that one of the masters of the form is still working at the height of his powers.”
—The New York Times
