Una de las obras más ambiciosas de Gabriel García Márquez, El otoño del patriarca narra la agonía y muerte de un tirano caribeño. Con un estilo innovador y onírico, la novela repite una misma anécdota siempre igual y siempre distinta, acumulando hechos y descripciones deslumbrantes. El dictador encarna lo mejor y lo peor de la naturaleza humana: caridad y engaño, bondad y violencia, temor de Dios y crueldad extrema. García Márquez, maestro del realismo mágico, retrata al tirano atrapado en la prisión de su propio poder, en un mundo a la vez fantástico y real.

English Translation

The Autumn of the Patriarch

One of Gabriel García Márquez's most ambitious novels, The Autumn of the Patriarch tells the story of a Caribbean tyrant's long agony and death. Written in an innovative, dreamlike style, the book cycles through a single anecdote that is always the same yet always different, piling up dazzling images and descriptions. The dictator embodies both the best and worst of human nature—charity and deceit, benevolence and violence, piety and cruelty—as García Márquez, master of magical realism, traps him within the prison of his own absolute power, creating a world both fantastical and painfully real.
