The Autumn of the Patriarch - Rilegato
First the vultures arrive. Then the revolutionaries burst into the crumbling residential a place of a modern Latin American country to find the rotting corpse of the dictator whose shadow had loomed over the advancing corruption of their country for almost a century. There was a time when his power seemed to have no limit, when dauntless adulators proclaimed him corrector of earthquakes and other errors of God, when his messianic appearances among the peasants inspired awe and love. But as his infamous regime tightened its grip of cruelty and terror, the dictator himself became afraid, withdrawing into the sanctuary of his crowded palace, where the mistresses, concubines and tribes of children he surrounded himself with could not offset the loneliness of the autumn of his power - the autumn of his pain. Gabriel Garcia Marquez weaves a narrative backwards and forwards through time, telling the story of the depot general - lover and son, puppet and symbol, man and monster - through the eyes of those who adored and served him, of those who feared and despised him.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First UK Edition. First impression of the first UK edition. Translated from the Spanish by Gregory Rabassa. The book was first published in the US by Harper & Row the preceding year, and originally published in Spanish under the title 'El otoño del patriarca' in 1975. ***Very good in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Top and tail of spine slightly bumped. Corners sharp. With a contemporaneous gift inscription to the front free endpaper. Very light stain to outer margin of p17, not affecting the text, otherwise internal pages are clean throughout. The paper stock is slightly tanned. There is a very light production crease to some pages of the first gathering, affecting p20-36. Top edge of text-block stained blue (as called for), but slightly faded. Spine tight. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper which has not been price-clipped, showing the original publisher's printed price of £4.50 [many copies of this title are price-clipped by the publisher and re-priced with a sticker]. Orange spine lettering slightly faded. Dustwrapper clean. No tears. Spine and front and rear panels of dustwrapper bright and clean. 224mm x 146mm. 229 pages. ***'First the vultures arrive. The revolutionaries burst into the crumbling presidential palace of a modern Latin American country to find the rotting corpse of the dictator whose shadow has loomed over the advancing corruption of their country for almost a century. ***The Autumn of the Patriarch is an extraordinary achievement - a book with the same spell-binding force that established 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' as a masterpiece and Marquez as one of the great writers of our time. With each rolling incantation the tyrant is invoked: lover and son, puppet and symbol, man and monster. Image after image of brilliant clarity arises out of the resonant richness and potency of Marquez's language superbly translated by Gregory Rabassa.' (Quote from inside of front of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its dustwrapper in nice bright condition. García Márquez's first novel following the worldwide success of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'. Of interest to collectors of Gabriel García Márquez and Latin American literature. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Codice articolo 6978
