Book Overview
NOBEL PRIZE WINNER - From the author of One Hundred Years of Solitude comes the gripping story of the murder of a young aristocrat that puts an entire society--not just a pair of murderers--on trial. A man returns to the town where a baffling murder took place 27 years earlier, determined to get to the bottom of the story. Just hours after marrying the beautiful Angela Vicario, everyone agrees, Bayardo San Roman returned his bride in disgrace to her parents. Her distraught family forced her to name her first lover; and her twin brothers announced their intention to murder Santiago Nasar for dishonoring their sister. Yet if everyone knew the murder was going to happen, why did no one intervene to stop it? The more that is learned, the less is understood, as the story races to its inexplicable conclusion.

Simple yet enchanting
Published by Kathy , 4 years ago
Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes a simple yet enchanting story about the intricacies of relationships in a small town. The characters manifest themselves through his writing weaving in and out of each others lives, and I found myself blowing through the novella.

Simplemente Magica
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
La prosa y la manera tan descriptiva que Gabriel Garcia tiene para escribir este libro es simplemente magica. Es como una historia detectivesca metafisica, cuando todo esta predicho para la muerte del personaje principal 'Santiago Nassar'. Ciertamente esta historia me mantuvo al borde del suspenso hasta el gran climax de la historia que detalladamente describe la muerte que causa que no solo los asesinos sean juzgados, pero todo el pueblo entero.En verdad es una obra maestra.
Este libro se disfruta de principio a fin

El libro comienza de una manera muy original, por el final. El lector percibe esta idea pero resulta intrigante la manera en que el autor sigue desarrollando la historia atravez de las paginas. Es un libro muy divertido y muestra la idiosincracia latinoamericana de una manera colorida
Un misterio que nunca podra ser revelado
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Lo que siempre me intrigara de esta excelente novela es si fue o no fue Santiago Nasar "el autor" de Angela Vicario. Si uno lo analiza por la reaccion final de la victima, quizas no, pero si uno se atiene a la confesion, aun mucho tiempo despues, de la supuesta doncella, quizas si. Como ven, cada lector tendra su propia opinion. Pobre Santiago Nasar!, y felices nosotros que hemos podido leer la historia.
This book is interesting!!!
