The pebble
Original title: La hojarasca
Synopsis
The first book by Gabriel García Márquez - 1955 - contains the stylistic germ and the ideas that would nourish its vast production. The hojarasca is the infamous count of a quiet collective revenge that takes place in Macondo, at the time when the people receive the disorderly stream that follows the exploitation of the banana, and its disastrous wake after the bloody rebellion of the workers. Prefiguration imbued with a supernatural aura and at the same time unquestionably realistic, this three-voice account is the fundamental stone of the splendid kingdom of the universal Colombian.
