Book excerpt: Unlock the more straightforward side of Chronicle of a Death Foretold with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez, an intriguing blend of genres in which the main character’s death is announced on the first page. The novella’s narrator attempts to reconstruct the events of that tragic day and find out why, even though everybody in the town knew about the impending murder, nobody intervened to stop it. The story’s apparent simplicity belies its thematic depth, as it raises profound questions about honour and the lengths people are prepared to go to in order to defend it, the legacy of Spanish colonialism in Colombia, and the nature of truth. Gabriel García Márquez was one of the best-known and most-loved Latin American writers of the 20th century, with a career spanning over 50 years. He wrote a series of influential novels, including One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera and The General in His Labyrinth, and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982.

This book, which originally appeared as a series of newspaper articles, is Garcia Marquez's account of that sailor's ordeal. Translated by Randolf Hogan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The articles and columns in The Scandal of the Century demonstrate that his forthright, lightly ironical voice just seemed to be there, right from the start . . . He’s among those rare great fiction writers whose ancillary work is almost always worth finding . . . He had a way of connecting the souls in all his writing, fiction and nonfiction, to the melancholy static of the universe.” --Dwight Garner, The New York Times From one of the titans of twentieth-century literature, collected here for the first time: a selection of his journalism from the late 1940s to the mid-1980s--work that he considered even more important to his legacy than his universally acclaimed works of fiction. "I don't want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude or for the Nobel Prize but rather for my journalism," Gabriel García Márquez said in the final years of his life. And while some of his journalistic writings have been made available over the years, this is the first volume to gather a representative selection from across the first four decades of his career--years during which he worked as a full-time, often muckraking, and controversial journalist, even as he penned the fiction that would bring him the Nobel Prize in 1982. Here are the first pieces he wrote while working for newspapers in the coastal Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla . . . his longer, more fictionlike reportage from Paris and Rome . . . his monthly columns for Spain's El País. And while all the work points in style, wit, depth, and passion to his fiction, these fifty pieces are, more than anything, a revelation of the writer working at the profession he believed to be "the best in the world."
