Enough to say that it was used by filmmakers. The rest confirms the former words and answers why this book is so special. The 15 left over stories had been written or better said transformed by the author, who took different stories of different books and changed them at his will. The stories are about the most guilty murderers of the world history, world known burglars but not so practically known, till the most hidden people of mankind history, where the author udes parts written in a magic way, opening the doors to Marquez, Rulfo and others who made their styles perfect until the most known and practiced style mainly in LatinAmerica: the magic realism.
