«Oficio de difuntos» is the novel by Venezuelan writer Arturo Uslar Pietri, published by Planeta in hardback (305 pages, in Spanish).
The action centres on the complex figure of a rural caudillo inspired by General Juan Vicente Gómez, and portrays how his thirst for power grows until he dominates Venezuela. The narrative combines psychological analysis of the character with a look at the historical void left by his long dictatorship (1903-1935).
This edition, published in 1997, is part of the Clásicos Contemporáneos Internacionales collection (volume 27). The novel was originally published in 1976.
It appeals to readers of Venezuelan historical fiction and to those who value the psychological portrayal of power.
