In Evil Hour - Thryft

Captivating fable of collective violence and secrets.

"In Evil Hour" by Gabriel García Márquez offers you a journey into a community fraught with tension and secrets risen to the surface. You'll be drawn into the rhythm of a society that has just emerged from civil war, where the personal becomes political and vice versa. The book's lyrical prose and haunting portrayal of human nature make it a compelling read for anyone interested in the complexities of small-town dynamics and the repercussions of unspoken truths.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

En "La mala hora", Gabriel García Márquez construye una inolvidable fabula sobre la violencia colectiva. Al pueblo ha llegado la mala hora de los campesinos, la hora de la desgracias. La comarca ha sido "pacificada" después de una guerra civil. Han ganado los conservadores, que se dedican a perseguir cruel y pertinazmente a sus adversarios liberales. Al alba de una mañana, mientras el padre Ángel se dispone a celebrar la misa, suena un disparo en el pueblo. Un comerciante de ganado, advertido por un pasquín pegado a la puerta de su casa de la infidelidad de su mujer, acaba de matar el presunto amante de esta. Es uno mas de los pasquines anónimos clavados en las puertas de las casas, que no son panfletos políticos, sino simples denuncias sobre la vida privada de los ciudadanos. Pero no revelan nada que no se supiera de antemano: son los viejos rumores que ahora se han hecho públicos; y a partir de ellos estalla la violencia subyacente bajo una luz tórrida, espesa, cansada y pegajosa, en una serie de escenas encadenadas de inolvidable belleza.
