The book "Autumn of the Patriarch" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The author considers the novel "The Fall of the President" (1975) to be his most important work. The hero of the novel - the unchanging, seemingly immortal president of a fictional country on the Caribbean coast, who by the will of fate found himself at the helm of power - embodies not only real, but also all modern tyrants of Latin American countries of the 20th century. This monumental work, imbued with the spirit of magical realism - a story, a prose poem, a polyphonic monologue about a tyrant and his loneliness.
