«Cronaca di una morte annunciata» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez published by Mondadori in paperback (137 pages, in Italian).
The novel reconstructs, through testimonies and time shifts, the death of Santiago Nasar in a Caribbean town. Although the Vicario brothers announce they are going to kill him to wash away their sister's honour, no one manages to stop them. García Márquez blends chronicle with tragedy to speak of collective guilt, fatality and destiny.
The work was originally published as «Crónica de una muerte anunciada» in 1981; this Italian edition by Mondadori is from 1997 and belongs to the «I miti» collection. Translation by Dario Puccini.
A work for readers of Latin American fiction and magical realism, with a structure that combines chronicle and tragedy.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
