El 28 de febrero de 1955 el destructor Caldas, que viajaba de Estados Unidos a Colombia, sufrió un accidente. Con la finalidad de rescatar a los náufragos, las fuerzas norteamericanas del canal de Panamá peinaron la zona cercana al siniestro. Después de cuatro días de búsqueda no encontraron ningún sobreviviente y se desistió de la búsqueda. Una semana más tarde apareció Luis Alejandro Velasco, quien después de pasar en las aguas del Caribe diez días a la deriva, logró llegar a tierra. Con este libro, Gabriel García Márquez se descubrió a sí mismo como un narrador. Sin embargo, la intención primera era la de escribir un reportaje sobre un hombre que estuvo diez días a la deriva en una balsa mecida por el mar Caribe. El futuro premio Nobel de literatura y entonces joven reportero que era García Márquez escuchó el relato de los hechos de boca de su protagonista, y lo transformó, tal vez sin pretenderlo, en un prodigioso ejercicio literario, una narración escueta y vigorosa donde late el pulso de un gran escritor. La publicación por entregas del reportaje en El espectador de Bogotá supuso un alboroto político considerable --se revelaba la existencia de contrabando ilegal en un buque de la Armada colombiana, lo que costó la vida de siete marineros y el naufragio, más afortunado, de Velasco-- y el exilio para su autor, que se vio abocado a una nueva vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor is a work of non-fiction by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez. The novel is about a shipwrecked sailor "Velasques" who struggles for ten days to reach the coast. In 1955, Garcia Marquez was working for El Espectador, a newspaper in Bogota, when in February of that year eight crew members of the Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were washed overboard and disappeared. Ten days later one of them turned up, barely alive, on a deserted beach in northern Colombia. This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez's account of that sailor's ordeal.Shipping Notes

Love this body wash
Scent: Lightly Scented, Size: 20 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This body wash is the best. It's rich and creamy, I don't like gel body wash. I used to have rough, bumpy skin on the backs of my thighs but this body wash makes my legs really smooth. Consistency is key, it'll take about a week to notice a difference.

Amazing lotion for the low price.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great everyday lotion and an excellent value for the price. The texture is light and creamy, not greasy, and it absorbs quickly. I like the scent, though scent preference is personal. Shipping was fast.
The only downside is the pump—it was difficult to open and required turning it counterclockwise, then clockwise, which was more effort than it should have been. Once it popped up, it works perfectly.

Best non greasy moisturizing lotion ever!!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion is honestly probably one of the best lotions I’ve ever used. I used it for the first time today immediately after my shower and it’s the perfect consistency not too thick or thin.. not full of water either which is good because my skin absorbs instantly! Most lotions sit on my skin and make me greasy and sweaty afterwards. It also smells like HEAVEN. Chocolaty and a hint of vanilla! I won’t be buying any other lotion this now!

Great moisturizer
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream is a great alternative to the more expensive name brand creams. I have ordered this a few times and I feel like it does a wonderful job keeping my skin feeling soft, nourished and moisturized until the next time I shower.
I do not feel as though my skin is greasy or oily after using this product. The cream does not feel thick or heavy on my skin. I am able to put a pair of pants on comfortably after using cream without feeling sticky.
The cocoa butter scent is light and not over powering. There are parts of my body that I have to avoid with the cream because I do have eczema, but this is something I have grown up with and I am used to.
I have purchased the cream twice, and unfortunately, the second time I bought it the pump top came a little bit destroyed (shown in photo). The product is still fully functional and will not determine from buying this again in the future!
