"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings"










Illustrations for Gabriel Garcia Marquez's story"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings". Story is about family who discovers an old man with huge wings in their yard, presumably, fallen from sky. They lock him with chickens and earn lots of money by showing old man with enormous wings to curious crowds. Until everyone gets fed up, because old man doesn't talk understandable language or show any magic. Finally, onlookers finds new attractions, like a girl who was turned into a spider. She is much more exciting because she can talk: explain what happened to her. While oLd man with enormous wings is forgotten in a mud at the edge of yard. For everyone is such a relief when he finally flies away.
