Garcia Marquez Gabriel Innocent Erendira and Other Stories Издательство: Penguin Group Жанр: Penguin Group Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 192 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub Whilst her grotesque and demanding grandmother retires to bed, Erendira still has floors to wash, sheets to iron, and a peacock to feed. The never-ending chores leave the young girl so exhausted that she collapses into bed with the candle still glowing on a nearby table — and is fast asleep when it topples over... Eight hundred and seventy-two thousand, three hundred and fifteen pesos, her grandmother calculates, is the amount that Erendira must repay her for the loss of the house. As she is dragged by her grandmother from town to town and hawked to soldiers, smugglers and traders, Erendira feels herself dying. Can the love of a virgin save the young whore from her hell?
