Doce cuentos peregrinos
Analyse : Contes
A l'image des histoires qui les animent, ces vagabonds sont d'étranges pèlerins, tous latino-américains, projetés aux quatre coins d'une Europe insolite, en des aventures où la magie et l'humour sont articulés par ce que Gabriel Garda Marquez considère comme essentiel à la construction de cet ouvrage : la perspective du temps." Je crois avoir ainsi réussi le livre de contes…

He dropped on his knees in front of the footstool. Had he forgotten to say his prayers that morning, and was he in such a hurry to remedy the fault that he had no time to spare for consulting…
