Loading... Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981)by Gabriel García Márquez
None.  KalliopeMuse | Apr 2, 2013 |  I read this novel when i was in high school and it was one of the first times i was given an interesting book. I love the narrative, and although the story itself is tragic the world and the descriptions are amazing. One of those books that once i started reading couldn't put down until it was done; something that rarely occurred when it came to assigned books in school; since they where usually beyond snooze-fest. This one takes the crown. (  ) Soireb | Mar 31, 2013 | This book, thanks to an awesome teacher, was what started me on the Magical Realism genre, as well as my fascination/appreciation of Latin-American literature. The imagery was fantastic. This is a perfect way to start with Marquez. (  ) laurelei | Mar 31, 2013 | Crónica de una muerte anunciada es un clásico de la literatura colombiana que todos deberiamos leer ya que es una novela que tiene breves acercamientos al periodismo. Ademas convina el realismo con la fantasia y algunos aspectos como el regionalismo, la cultura colombiana, los sentimientos etc. Es una novela de García Márquez que estuvo bastante premiada y que ademas es muy recomendada. ( ) AndreCataVargas | Feb 7, 2013 | Este libro es interesante, porque inicia contando el final de la historia, esto causa mas interés en la lectura, personalmente el libro me gusto y me encanta la forma que el autor describe los acontecimientos, esto es característico de Gabriel García Marquez.

 In short, one expects from ''Chronicle of a Death Foretold'' another powerful dose of the fabulous and surreal. But behold! While in no way resembling conventional social realism, ''Chronicle'' is not nearly so fantastic as Garcia Marquez's earlier novels. It contains a powerfully plausible plot - a dream-like detective story, really, that pursues the questions of why and how two young men have undertaken a brutal murder that they actually had not wanted to commit.

This is such a well-crafted book in its structure and language that I may have to re-read it now that I just finished it. (
