Reseña del editor
First the vultures arrive. Then the revolutionaries burst into the crumbling residential a place of a modern Latin American country to find the rotting corpse of the dictator whose shadow had loomed over the advancing corruption of their country for almost a century. There was a time when his power seemed to have no limit, when dauntless adulators proclaimed him corrector of earthquakes and other errors of God, when his messianic appearances among the peasants inspired awe and love. But as his infamous regime tightened its grip of cruelty and terror, the dictator himself became afraid, withdrawing into the sanctuary of his crowded palace, where the mistresses, concubines and tribes of children he surrounded himself with could not offset the loneliness of the autumn of his power - the autumn of his pain. Gabriel Garcia Marquez weaves a narrative backwards and forwards through time, telling the story of the depot general - lover and son, puppet and symbol, man and monster - through the eyes of those who adored and served him, of those who feared and despised him.
Biografía del autor
Gabriel Garcia Marquez was born in Aracataca, Colombia in 1928. He attended the University of Bogota and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. The Autumn of the Patriarch is reissued as one of a complete set of all his novels - In Evil Hour, Love in the Time of Cholera, One Hundred Years of Solitude and The General in His Labyrinth. His Collected Stories and Three Novellas are also now available. In 1982 Marquez was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He lives in Mexico City.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition, translated from the Spanish by Gregory Rabassa. The book was first published in the USA by Harper & Row the preceding year, and originally published in Spanish under the title 'El otoño del patriarca' in 1975. ***Very good in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked - top and tail of spine just slightly creased. Corners sharp. Top edge of page block stained blue by the publisher, just slightly faded. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good, with a gift inscription to the front free endpaper. Very light stain to the outer margin of p17, not affecting the text, otherwise internal pages are clean throughout. The paper stock is slightly tanned. There is a very light production crease to some pages of the first gathering, affecting p20-36 - hardly noticeable. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £4.50 (many copies of this title are price-clipped by the publisher and re-priced with a sticker). The dustwrapper is complete with no loss and no creases or tears. Orange spine lettering just slightly faded. Dustwrapper otherwise bright. ***224mm x 146mm. 229 pages. ***'First the vultures arrive. The revolutionaries burst into the crumbling presidential palace of a modern Latin American country to find the rotting corpse of the dictator whose shadow has loomed over the advancing corruption of their country for almost a century. ***"The Autumn of the Patriarch" is an extraordinary achievement - a book with the same spell-binding force that established "One Hundred Years of Solitude" as a masterpiece and Marquez as one of the great writers of our time. With each rolling incantation the tyrant is invoked: lover and son, puppet and symbol, man and monster. Image after image of brilliant clarity arises out of the resonant richness and potency of Marquez's language superbly translated by Gregory Rabassa.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its dustwrapper in nice bright condition. García Márquez's first novel following the worldwide success of "One Hundred Years of Solitude". A good reading copy of the true UK first edition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6978x
