«L'autunno del patriarca» is Gabriel García Márquez's magic realism novel, published by Mondadori in paperback (220 pages, in Italian).
A Caribbean dictator lives trapped by the illusions and solitude of power, surrounded by doctors and flatterers in a palace overrun by nature. With baroque prose, García Márquez turns the tyrant into a mythological symbol of Latin America and reflects on the greatness and misery of absolute power.
Originally published as «El otoño del patriarca» in 1975, this 2018 Italian edition belongs to the Oscar moderni collection (no. 216).
For readers of Latin American fiction and 20th-century classics interested in the figure of the dictator.
Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
