La mala hora
【Content Introduction】This rain might last until December. The mayor had a terrible toothache and could only lie in his hammock chewing painkillers. The priest didn't catch any mice today. The judge went to the office for the first time. The dead cow lay by the river for days, its stench carried into every house on the morning breeze.
For a while, no one talked about anything except the anonymous post. Some people were enjoying the show, while others were going mad. The first person to find the note killed the other person. The cell had been empty for two years, and then someone else was sent there. From six o'clock on, people stayed in their homes.
If it weren't for the tattered paper and the dead cow, this town would still be a happy paradise.
【Editor's Recommendation】
★What a terrible place! What a terrible day!
The end has come. Find a quiet, sunny cemetery and lie down there to die.
★Life is nothing more than constantly giving people opportunities so that they can survive.
★The first novel by Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez, a profound allegory about the evils of violence. ★I write about the constant anxiety that plagues every household behind closed doors. -- Gabriel García Márquez. ★Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the author's death, with a new double cover design. [Comments from various circles]
★ "The Bad Hour" is García Márquez's work that best reflects social reality. In his writing, reality is so absurd and unimaginable. --Vargas Llosa ★ In "The Bad Hour," the young García Márquez turned to "social realism," using the story of this anonymous poster to reflect the reality of Colombia, perfectly interweaving horror and irony. --The New York Times
More than just a prelude... the film once again amazes us with its dazzling sense of place and richly colored characters. —The New Republic
