The Autumn Of The Patriarch

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Ürün Tanıtımı

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner ofthe 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of One Hundred Years ofSolitude, explores the loneliness of power in Autumn of the Patriarch.

'Over the weekend the vultures gotinto the presidential palace by pecking through the screens on the balconywindows and the flapping of their wings stirred up the stagnant time inside'

As the citizens of an unnamed Caribbeannation creep through dusty corridors in search of their tyrannical leader, theycannot comprehend that the frail and withered man lying dead on the floor canbe the self-styled General of the Universe. Their arrogant, manically violentleader, known for serving up traitors to dinner guests and drowning youngchildren at sea, can surely not die the humiliating death of a mere mortal?

Tracing the demands of a man whoseegocentric excesses mask the loneliness of isolation and whose lies have becomeso ingrained that they are indistinguishable from truth, Marquez has created afantastical portrait of despotism that rings with an air of reality.
