"Maqroll the Gaviero (the Lookout) is one of the most alluring and memorable characters in the fiction of the last twenty-five years. His extravagant and hopeless undertakings, his brushes with the law and scrapes with death, and his enduring friendships and unlooked-for love affairs make him a Don Quixote for our day, driven from one place to another by a restless and irregular quest for the absolute.".
"Alvaro Mutis's seven chronicles of the adventures and misadventures of Maqroll have won him numerous honors and a passionately devoted readership throughout the world. Here for the first time in English all these stories appear in a single volume in Edith Grossman's prize-winning translation."--BOOK JACKET.

"Pelagie: The Return to Acadie is the funny, lyrical tale of how a valiant widow leads her people out of exile. In 1755, British soldiers had forced them off their land and sent them as far from Acadia as possible. Twenty years later, the scattered Cormiers and LeBlancs, Landrys and Poiriers, Maillets and Legers find their way to Pelagie's ox-cart caravan and head for home." "As well as the remains of her own family, Pelagie embraces a runaway slave, a gruff midwife, a giant, a fool, and a hundred-year-old patriarch who strikes a daring bargain with Death. Through fair weather and foul, over mountains and rivers, Pelagie commands a ten-year odyssey up the Atlantic coast from Georgia to Acadie."--BOOK JACKET.
