Classic & Older Gothic

Chronicle of a Death Foretold

by Gabriel García Márquez

A murder foretold to the entire town, yet no one stops it. García Márquez reconstructs a killing everyone saw coming—the bride returned in disgrace, her brothers bound by honor, and a man walking toward his own announced death. A novella of fate, complicity, and the inevitable made unbearable.
