Chronicle of a Death Foretold, first published in 1981, is a nonlinear, journalistic-style novel that blends elements of fiction and reportage. It tells the story of the murder of Santiago Nasar, a wealthy young man in a small Colombian town, whose death is foretold by nearly everyone, yet, inexplicably, no one prevents it. The novel is based on real events that García Márquez witnessed in his youth. Gabriel García Márquez was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 for his masterful storytelling, which combines the fantastic and the realistic to depict the life and conflicts of Latin America.

Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel García Márquez is a mesmerizing blend of magical realism and historical fiction. The story is set in the 18th century in a Spanish colony (modern-day Colombia) and follows Sierva María de Todos los Ángeles, the twelve-year-old daughter of a noble but neglectful family. She is bitten by a rabid dog but does not show symptoms of the disease. Sierva María is placed under the care of Father Cayetano Delaura, a priest assigned to perform her exorcism. As he observes her, he becomes fascinated by her resilience, intelligence, and beauty. Edith Grossman’s translation is widely acclaimed for capturing García Márquez's lyrical style and maintaining the novel’s emotional depth. With its haunting atmosphere and tragic romance, the novel is a powerful meditation on love, fate, and the destructive forces of superstition.
