Autumn of the Patriarch
Autumn of the Patriarch (new translation) Gabriel Garcia Marquez – the greatest writer of the 20th century, Nobel Prize laureate, author of world-famous novels "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Love in the Time of Cholera" and "Autumn of the Patriarch". "I have... always wanted to write a book about absolute power," – this is how the author defined the main theme of his novel-poem about the mythic tyrant – "Autumn of the Patriarch". The dictator of an unnamed Latin American country has been in power for so long that he no longer remembers how he came to it and who he truly is – a man or a living myth, a maker of destinies or a pathetic puppet in the hands of the relentless Rock. He is utterly alone in his vast palace, where the real and the unreal coexist in the most bizarre way. He desires death and at the same time fears it. And is there death for an embodied legend? Sometimes he feels that he will only be happy after he dies, and the countless time of eternity will finally stop…
