vickyoyarzun's review against another edition
4.0
García Márquez nunca decepciona en sus cuentos, lo poco que se impresionan las personas del pueblo al encontrarse con este hombre alado y 'hacedor de milagros irónicos', para después ignorarlo totalmente luego de la llegada de un fenómeno más exótico encuentro que es una analogía a la creencia y ostentosidad en el espectáculo religioso.
El cuento a pesar de ser breve abre una enormidad de preguntas: Qué pasaría si un ser divino fuera igual que nosotros? Qué define a lo divino? Finalmente el ser humano define cuando lo divino se vuelve profano?...

Have you ever consider the possibility that even if something divine did exist, it must be something very different from what representatives of various religions represent it to be? Here is an angel that is not anywhere as glorious as religions will have us believe. Like in other Marquez story I have read 'The Handsomest Drowned Man In the World' the centeral character himself never utters a word, we only get reactions from other people.
There are also the themes of ficklish sensationalism in general and the way religion is often reduced to entertainment for purposes of money.
