New York. 1983. April 1983. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0394530748. Translated from the Spanish by Gregory Rabassa. 120 pages. hardcover. Front-of-jacket illustration by Alain Gauthier. keywords: Literature Translated Colombia Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Never had a death been foretold more widely. Twenty-two people had heard the Vicario twins discussing their intentions in the market on the morning of the murder, It was as if they were challenging someone to stop their crime. By the time the Bishop's boat arrived, there were very few people in the village who did not know that young, open-hearted, wealthy Santiago Nasar was the twins' declared victim-or why. Yet twenty-three years later, when the narrator pieces this fascinating chronicle together, witnesses cannot explain why Santiago was not warned-or whether he was guilty of anything at all. The day before his murder, Santiago, like almost everyone else in the village, revelled at the wedding of Angela Vicario, Her groom, Bayardo San Roman, was a relative newcomer to the community, but he had a large fortune, a hero General for a father, and a mother and sisters whose fashionable appearance at the ceremony left a deep impression. Some thought Bayardo a strange man, not least of all his bride, He had decided to marry Angela, having seen her only once, crossing the square. He never tried to seduce her, just bewitched the family. And even if he hadn't succeeded in bewitching them himself his money would have, Angela made one other mistake beyond that of marrying a man she didn't love: she dared to put on the veil and take the orange blossoms which were to signify her purity. Gabriel Garcia Márquez's ability to recreate the intrigue and claustrophobia-the curious notion of morality and honour-which can entangle a small, close community, is well known from his masterpiece, ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE. CHRONICLE OF A DEATH FORETOLD is another such intensely vivid drama, in which the quality of innocence takes on unpredictable shapes. inventory #16561.
