Leaf Storm

By Gabriel García Márquez & Gregory Rabassa
Leaf Storm by Gabriel García Márquez & Gregory Rabassa digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Leaf Storm is the first book García Márquez wrote. Already we see the colorful historical background that forms the basis for his later work. It covers the history of Macondo from 1903 to 1928, ending the year the author was born.

A man dies and three people reflect on the story of Macondo’s boom and decline as shown in the family fortunes over three generations. As they attend the wake, the members of the family recall the tragedy that involves them all. Grim, ironic, powerful, Leaf Storm creates a mysterious and ominous atmosphere that lingers on in the reader’s mind.

Leaf Storm Reviews

3.0
“Marquez's writing is surreal, as it sweeps me up in the same whirlwind that the leaf storm brought and left. At times, i felt whiplashed by the unexpected switches in perspectives, but soon grew used to it and also grew to immensely like it and attribute it to the experience of this book. Themes of desolation, grief and varied yet powerful notions of morality are laid out beautifully.”
