The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Marquez Day- A celebration of one of the world’s most loved writers available in ebook for the first time
‘On February 22 we were told that we would be returning to Columbia.’
In 1955, eight crew members of Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were swept overboard. Velasco alone survived, drifting on a raft for ten days without food or water. Marquez retells the survivor’s amazing tale, from his loneliness and thirst, to his determination to survive.
The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor was Marquez’s first major, and controversial, work, published in Colombian newspaper El Espectador, in 1955. It is being re-issued on Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s birthday to celebrate the publication of his books as ebooks for the first time.
