Crónica de una muerte anunciada
García Márquez, Gabriel
Perhaps the most "realistic" work by Gabriel García Márquez is Chronicle of a Death Foretold, since it is based on a historical event that occurred in the writer's homeland. When the novel begins, it is known that the Vicario brothers are going to kill Santiago Nasar - in fact, they have already killed him - to avenge his sister Angela's outraged honor, but the story ends precisely at the moment when Santiago Nasar dies. The cyclical time, so used by García Márquez in his works, reappears here decomposed in each of his moments, reconstructed neatly and exactly by the narrator, who gives an account of what happened in the past, which advances and recedes in his story and he even arrives much later to tell the fate of the survivors. The action is collective and personal, clear and ambiguous, and it captures the reader from the beginning. The dialectic between myth and reality is combined in a prose so fascinating that it rises to the borders of legend.
