Marquez Gabriel Garcia

Gabriel García Márquez. Chronicle of a Death Foretold. Milan: A. Mondadori, 1982. First edition. Original edition of the masterpiece by the great Colombian writer and Nobel Prize in Literature laureate. The work narrates the announced murder of Santiago by the rigid and merciless social rules of the rural Latin American communities of the era, in the matter of honor crime. In this context the author celebrates the impossibility of escaping a fate that seems written by destiny and stigmatizes the moral complicity of an entire community that passively watches the tragedy unfold. Hardcover in cloth. Illustrated dust jacket. Dimensions 22 x 14 cm, pages 126. Excellent condition.
