Gabriel García Márquez ha declarado una y otra vez que El otoño del patriarca es la novela en la que más trabajo y esfuerzo invirtió. En efecto, García Márquez ha construido una maquinaria narrativa perfecta que desgrana una historia universal -la agonía y muerte de un dictador- en forma cíclica, experimental y real al mismo tiempo, en seis bloques narrativos sin diálogos, sin puntos y aparte, repitiendo una anécdota siempre igual y siempre distinta, acumulando hechos y descripciones deslumbrantes.
Novela escrita en Barcelona entre 1968 y 1975, El otoño del patriarca deja asomar en su trasfondo el acontecimiento más importante de la historia española de aquellos años -la muerte del general Franco- aunque su contexto y estilo sean, como simpre en este escritor, el de la asombrosa realidad latinoamericana que García Márquez ha elevado una vez más a la dignidad de mito.

Book Details
First Sentence
"Over the weekend the vultures got into the presidential palace by pecking through the screens on the balcony windows and the flapping of their wings stirred up the stagnant time inside, and at dawn on Monday the city awoke out of its lethargy of centuries with the warm, soft breeze of a great man dead and rotting grandeur."
