A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings

Book • 2014
In a small coastal village, an old man with enormous wings is discovered, sparking curiosity and bewilderment among the locals.

Gabriel García Márquez's short story explores themes of faith, compassion, and the human response to the extraordinary.

The villagers struggle to understand the winged man's origins and purpose, treating him with a mix of reverence and cruelty.

Márquez's use of magical realism creates a thought-provoking narrative that challenges conventional notions of reality.

'A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings' is a poignant reflection on the nature of humanity and the mysteries of existence.
