Me gusta como escribe Gabriel García Márquez, pero desde que leí "El coronel no tiene quien le escriba" no he podido encontrar otro de él que me guste tanto.
"Padrona per la prima volta del proprio destino, Angela Vicario scoprí allora che l'odio e l'amore sono passioni reciproche"

Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez is a masterpiece of literature and a testament to the power of storytelling.
The story revolves around the murder of Santiago Nasar, a young man whose death is foretold from the very beginning. Through a non-linear narrative and magical realism, García Márquez masterfully weaves together multiple perspectives and timelines, gradually revealing the events leading up to the tragedy. The narrative structure is a triumph of non-linear storytelling, jumping back and forth in time and blurring the lines between the past and the present.
The novella is a powerful commentary on societal expectations, morality, and the blurred lines between truth and rumor. García Márquez's prose and vivid imagery bring the fictional town of Sucre to life, immersing readers in a world where the surreal and the real coexist.

I am writing here to Commission to having my death written about in a similar manner. There is wonder and a deep appreciation of the culture and beliefs of this town. This isn’t a story about the gores and details of a killing, but the particular social circumstances that allowed such a well advertised death threat to go unhampered.
