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

Great patches for punctures and the proper way to repair a tyre.
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch, Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
Why go to a tire repair shop and spend a fortune when you can do it yourself. However most people don't want to be bothered but for us do it yourselfers this patch set was great. Comes with various patches all in different sizes. If you're not familiar with fixing a tire it's really easy and honestly a scam getting it done. Fun fact the gray glue on the bottom is actually activated when you drive heating up the patch and vulcanizing it to the tire but it doesn't hurt to actually use some rubber cement to seal around the patch to prevent future leaks. I ended up having to use these on one of my motorcycle tires when I ran over a pallet staple, for me the biggest patchwork and once testing and rebeating the tire there was no leakage. Good price for the amount you receive and cost less to repair it yourself than taking it to a shop

Worked Great. Save a Near New Tire
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
I got these because twice this year I picked up a nail in my motorcycle tire. The local shops want to sell tires so they won't patch any tire no matter how new.
I used these on two tires, a steel-belted radial and a bias-ply off-road tire. It worked out great, both have been holding air for months now and by doing it myself I saved hundreds of $$$.
These are the best way to pemanently patch a tire that's gotten a smallish puncture.

Good quality, Best for schools and shops.
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
I bought this butyl repair patch and the quality is good. I brought it to the school where I’m learning automotive repair and used it as a teaching consumable. Many students tried it, and everyone thought it worked very well. One thing I would suggest for individual buyers: pay attention to the size combinations in the package. For most car owners, you may end up using only one size more often. Because of that, this mixed-size packaging is probably more suitable for schools, training programs, or auto repair shops where different sizes are needed regularly. Overall, it’s still a good quality product and performs exactly as expected.
