Marquez Day- A celebration of one of the world's most loved writers available in ebook for the first time

Their nostalgic memories of home, their sense of anonymity in a foreign land, the terrifying pang of vulnerability they feel as they step over the threshold into an alien world...

These pilgrims - the ageing prostitute preparing for death, the panicked husband scared for the life of his injured wife, the old man who allows his mind to wander on a long-haul flight from Paris - experience what it is to be an outsider living far from home.

Strange Pilgrims is re-issued on Gabriel Garcia Marquez 's birthday to celebrate the publication of his books as ebooks for the first time.

Reviews for Strange Pilgrims

Celebratory and full of strange relish at life's oddness. The stories draw their strength from Marquez's generous feel for character, good and bad, boorish and innocent William Boyd
