But the surprise came when the third niche of the main altar was opened: a copper-colored head of hair, twenty-two meters and eleven centimeters long, belonging to a girl, spilled out. On the tombstone, the name could barely be read: Sierva María de Todos los Ángeles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGarcía Márquez himself recounts: \"My grandmother used to tell me as a child the legend of a twelve-year-old marchioness whose hair dragged like a bridal train, who had died of rabies from a dog bite, and was revered in the Caribbean towns for her many miracles. The idea that that tomb could be hers was my news of the day, and the origin of this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16152401\"\u003eGabriel García Márquez\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Espanol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.16w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307475350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0307475352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC056000\"\u003eHispanic \u0026amp; Latino | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC061000\"\u003eMagical Realism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriel García Márquez\u003c\/b\u003e, born in Colombia, was one of the most important and influential figures in universal literature.
