In Evil Hour

Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Slightly faded to edges. Small sticker ghost to front paste-down. Dust jacket rubbed to spine ends. Translated from the Spanish by Gregory Rabassa. *** Stated first edition. First full length novel by the Colombian Nobel Prize laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez, originally published in Spanish in 1962, but not translated into English until 1979. It is often seen as a precursor to One Hundred Years of Solitude, with some of the same characters and situations appearing in this earlier novel.
