'The Adventures and Misadventures of Maqroll' (orig. Spanish ' Empresas y Tribulaciones de Maqroll el Gaviero') is a compilation of novellas by Colombian author lvaro Mutis. First published as a two-volume collection in Colombia in 1993, the work was translated into English by Edith Grossman in 2002. The novellas center on the exploits and adventures of Maqroll the Gaviero ('gavia' is Spanish for topsail, and 'gaviero' is the sailor in charge of the topsail, but there is also a pun with the word 'gavia' which, like 'gaviota', also means seagull), and his travels on sea and on land across the world.
