Title: The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor
Description: London, Jonathan Cape. 1986, First Edition. Hardcover. Book, 8vo. xii, 106pp. Blue boards with gilt to spine. Original unclipped dustjacket. A scarce first UK edition of Márquez's journalistic account of the amazing story of Luis Alijendro Velasco, who survived for ten days adrift in the Caribbean Sea after the sinking of his ship in 1955. The story's serialisation caused such a stir when it first appeared that it led to Velasco's disappearance and the closing down of Márquez's paper. Fine/Fine.
