Summary

Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Chronicle of Death Foretold

Perhaps Chronicle of Death Foretold is the most "realistic" work of Gabriel García Márquez, as the story is based on a historical event that took place in the writer's native country. When the novel begins, it is already known that the Vicario brothers will indeed kill Santiago Nasar, they have already killed him in order to wash away the stain from the tarnished honor of Sister Ángela, but the novel ends when Santiago Nasar dies. Cyclic time, which García Márquez masterfully handles in a series of his books, reappears here, thoroughly broken down into each moment, and all of them, meticulously and without error, the narrator reassembles and thus reports on what happened years before, so when he moves it back and forth in his narrative after returning to the scene, years later, he also manages to tell the fate of the survivors. The action is collective and personal, clear and ambiguous, grips the reader from the very beginning, even though he already knows its outcome. The dialectic between myth and reality is once again expressed here with prose so charged with the power of enchantment, that this prose is elevated to the very limits of legend.
