En Barcelona, una prostituta que va entrando en la vejez entrena su perro a llorar ante la tumba que ha escogido para si misma. En Viena, una mujer se vale de su don de ver el futuro para convertirse en la adivina de una familia rica. En Ginebra, el conductor de una ambulancia y su esposa acogen al abandonado y aparentemente moribundo ex presidente de un pais caribeno, solo para descubrir que sus ambiciones politicas siguen intactas.

En estos doce relatos magistrales acerca de las vidas de latinoamericanos en Europa, Garcia Marquez logra transmitir la amalgama de melancolia, tenacidad, pena y ambicion que forma la experiencia del emigrante.
