Autumn of the Patriarch
About This Novel
The masterpiece after "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by García Márquez, "Autumn of the Patriarch" is the highest literary masterpiece of Nobel Prize winner García Márquez. It condenses "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Love in the Time of Cholera" and other works into it, and takes magical realism to the extreme. It is known as "the greatest novel in all languages in the past 50 years." "Autumn of the Patriarch" uses colorful images, bizarre plots, and overwhelming sentence structures to tell the story of the "autumn" of a dictator who is omnipotent but lonely. He enjoyed all the glory for countless years, but was unable to change his fate of being "incapable of love." So while he used the sin of power to compensate for this shameless fate, he became a lonely sacrifice to himself in a palace with only cows. In "The Autumn of the Patriarch", Marquez incorporates his deep feelings about loneliness: the loneliness of the patriarch is a reflection of Marquez's lonely heart under the aura of fame.

It's probably true to say that it's always cold in high places, so relatively speaking you must have a confidant, or a kind heart, otherwise you'll have to wait for everyone to betray you. Anyway, relatively speaking, if you don't have a kind heart, without protection, you will definitely betray everyone.
What does the autumn of a dictator look like? She probably has no friends or family, because her family doesn't hesitate to associate with her. After all, if you get along with an authoritarian and decisive person, he might think that you are trying to please her. After all, the brain is a disease.
Dictator, he probably means that he is relatively independent, decisive and only listens to his own opinions. He never thinks that what others say is right. Instead, he feels that the other person is insulting him and questioning her words. Although it is true that others are questioning what he said, it is for his own good after all, but others will not accept it.
