This Book is an excerpt from Gabriel García Márquez's novel, Autumn of the Patriarch. It portrays the aging, tyrannical dictator's life, exploring his paranoia, his complex relationships with his mother and a mistress, and his brutal rule. The passage uses highly descriptive language and stream-of-consciousness narrative to depict his descent into madness and isolation. The narrative jumps erratically through time, offering fragmented glimpses into his long reign and its ultimate downfall. The translator's accolades highlight the literary significance of the work.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Autumn-Patriarch-Gabriel-Garcia-Marquez/dp/0060882867?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=b1f50f949888152c8488db42b17d2492&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
