Title : Chronicle of a Death Foretold - Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Book

Summary :

The Vicario brothers announced their murderous intentions to everyone they encountered, and the rumor eventually alerted the entire village, except for Santiago Nasar. And yet, at dawn that morning, Santiago Nasar would be stabbed in his own doorway.
Why could the crime not have been prevented? Some did nothing, believing it to be a simple drunken boast; others tried to act, but a complex tangle of setbacks and unforeseen events—often joyfully burlesque—and also the naivety or resentment and contradictory feelings of a population living in a closed tropical isolation, allowed and even facilitated the blind will of fate. Chronicle of a Death Foretold is a hallucinatory novel in which the humor and imagination of the great Colombian writer, Nobel Prize winner for literature, are more unbridled than ever to create a new and brilliant fiction on the eternal themes of honor and fate.
