No One Writes to the Colonel. El coronel no tiene quien le escriba

No One Writes to the Colonel. El coronel no tiene quien le escriba

This collection includes two novellas by Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez - "No One Writes to the Colonel" and others. García Márquez rewrote "No One Writes to the Colonel" more than ten times to achieve the depth and conciseness that... allow a whole fate or a country's history to be understood in a couple of casually dropped words or a minor detail. The novella tells the story of an old colonel who lives in poverty and has been waiting for fifteen years for a letter with his military pension. This poignant story immerses the reader in despair and hopelessness, but also shows the power of pride and resilience. As long as the colonel is alive, despite everything, hope and honor cannot be overcome by any circumstances...
