Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a compelling, moving story exploring injustice and mob hysteria by the Nobel Laureate Gabriel García Márquez, author of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera.
'On the day they were going to kill him, Santiago Nasar got up at five-thirty in the morning to wait for the boat the bishop was coming on'
Santiago Nasar is brutally murdered in a small town by two brothers. All the townspeople knew it was going to happen - including the victim. But nobody did anything to prevent the killing. Twenty seven years later, a man arrives in town to try and piece together the truth from the contradictory testimonies of the townsfolk. To at last understand what happened to Santiago, and why. . .
Autobiografía non declarada como tal, novela feita de relatos conexos no tempo, lese con dozura mentres vai emerxendo a historia á que tenta chegar como fin do autor, matemático. Ás veces, parca en verbas, outras, ilustrativa sen pasarse, a amalgama rende unha obra leda, de ledicia vital, que vai a máis segundo se le.
