The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor

» Gabriel García Márquez

Penguin
Paperback : 02 Aug 2007

£9.99

‘On February 22 we were told that we would be returning to Columbia.’

Synopsis

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. Márquez retells the survivor’s amazing tale of endurance, from his loneliness and thirst to his determination to survive.

The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor was Márquez's first major, and controversial, work, published in a Colombian newspaper, El Espectador, in 1955 and then in book form in 1970.
