«La Mala Hora» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (224 pages, in French).
In a Colombian town under tense peace after the civil war, anonymous lampoons expose secrets, grudges, and past crimes. One leads César Montero to kill, and the pamphlets sow discord. Father Ángel, initially indifferent, demands a firm hand, and the mayor responds with repression until the apparent calm breaks.
Novel originally published in 1962; this French edition, translated by Claude Couffon, corresponds to number 6440 of the Le Livre de Poche collection.
Will appeal to readers of Gabriel García Márquez and Latin American fiction.
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.
