«Crónica de una muerte anunciada» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Bruguera in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative reconstructs, with a non-linear structure and multiple voices, the events preceding the murder of Santiago Nasar: the Vicario brothers prepare revenge for Ángela's honour. Based on a real event in Sucre, the novel explores collective guilt and the weight of a community's traditions.
Published in 1981; this edition belongs to Bruguera's Narradores de Hoy collection.
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.
