ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mesmerizing research through the places, characters, and real events that inspired one of the best-known novels by Gabriel García Márquez: Chronicle of a Death Foretold.
 
During a visit to the Harry Ransom Center, where Gabriel García Márquez’ personal archive is kept, Nadia Cleis came across an important find: an unpublished manuscript of Chronicle of a Death Foretold containing a rare epilogue. The find detonated in the writer the impulse to unravel the effects the famous novel by the Nobel Prize winner had and still has, not only in the real-life people who inspired the story, but in thousands of readers. This book, an extraordinary account of her research, is a passionate journey that goes beyond the limits of reality and fiction.
