Synopsis
Written during Garcia Marquez's Paris years (1956-1957), but not published until 1961, the title story is about an aged colonel and his wife, impoverished and starving, who live precariously on credit, hope, and the exploits of a fighting cock they have inherited from their son, who was killed by the opposing political party. This volume also contains eight other stories, less celebrated but all variations on Garcia Marquez's favorite themes: death, family, homeland, and the rigors of poverty; they were originally published in LOS FUNERALES DE LA MAMA GRANDE.

Publisher's Note

Written with compassionate realism and wit, the stories in this mesmerizing collection depict the disparities of town and village life in South America, of the frightfully poor and outrageously rich, of memories and illusions, and of lost opportunities and present joys.
