«Crónica de una muerte anunciada» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published in 1982 by Bruguera in paperback (196 pages, in Spanish).
The novel starts from a wedding and the night before Santiago Nasar's murder. It is known that the Vicario brothers are waiting for him to avenge the outraged honour of their sister Ángela, but the narrative reconstructs the previous hours with testimonies and leaps in time. García Márquez builds a choral chronicle about guilt, silence and fate.
The novel was originally published in 1981; this Bruguera edition is from 1982 and belongs to the Narradores de Hoy collection (number 60).
For readers aged 15 and over who want to approach a classic of magical realism and twentieth-century Latin American narrative.
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.
