Gabriel García Márquez's story “Chronicle of a Death Announced in Advance” was published in 1981, a year before the writer was awarded the Nobel Prize. It has long become a world classic and has been translated into Russian more than once. The publishing house presents a new Russian-language version of the story. The author of the translation is the famous writer Mikhail Mishin: “More than half a life ago, the Chronicle came into my hands. The precise brevity and the power of a formidable novel. The mysticism of love, the simplicity of death. The incomprehensibility of chance. The inexorability of fate... I couldn’t resist trying.”
