Title: La Mala Hora - Gabriel Garcia Marquez - book
Summary :
"A Colombian village, which experienced civil war, has lived in peace since the mayor restored order through terror. But one evening, the first anonymous leaflets appear on a few doors. The one read by César Montero immediately leads him to kill. And the leaflets multiply, sowing discord in families, rekindling hatred, awakening in everyone's memory the schemes, the exactions, the crimes committed in the past.
Father Angel, initially indifferent, finally asks the mayor to take authoritative action in the face of this "case of terrorism against moral order." Nothing prevents the leaflets from proliferating. The mayor decides to return to repression. The false peace is over; the village has returned to its daily hell.
A mixture of apathy and violence that leaves an aftertaste of blood and despair in our minds. A powerful novel.
