"The Scandal of the Century" is a collection of journalistic works by the famous Colombian writer and Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez. The book compiles his best articles and reports, written between 1950 and 1984, which demonstrate not only the author's journalistic talent but also his unique narrative style. These texts reflect Márquez's keen perspective on the political and social issues of Latin America, and they also contain elements of the magical realism that later became the hallmark of his literary works. The collection allows readers to see how the writer's creative method was formed and how journalism influenced his literary career.
