About this product
Product Information
In 1973, the film director Miguel Litt n fled Chile after a U.S.-supported military coup toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. The new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Litt n returned to Chile disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he'd been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries, each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism, he would secretly put together a film that would tell the truth about Pinochet's benighted Chile--a film that would capture the world's attention while landing the general and his secret police with a very visible black eye. Afterwards, the great novelist Gabriel Garc a M rquez sat down with Litt n to hear the story of his escapade, with all its scary, comic, and not-a-little surreal ups and downs. Then, applying the same unequaled gifts that had already gained him a Nobel Prize, Garc a M rquez wrote it down. Clandestine in Chile is a true-life adventure story and a classic of modern reportage.

Reviews
"Clandestine in Chileis a memoir of Mr. Littin's six-week adventure, as told to and recast by Mr. Garcia Marquez, and a sketch for what the latter calls the film behind the film, the personal story he finds more moving than the original film project. The idea is moving, indeed dazzling...[Gabriel Garcia Márquez] seems chiefly to have lent some of his own quietly lyrical cadences to certain images and chapter endings…he evokes well the haunting cold of autumn in Chile, and gently registers the exile's nostalgias and surprises." Michael Wood,The New York Times "Garcia Marquez has written a terse political thriller with shafts of insight into conflicts of identity." Newsweek "It is excellent journalism...this book remains an interesting historical document-smuggled across the Chilean border like contraband-of what life was like under the old dictator…I have never read a book that pokes quite such irreverent fun at the dangers of military power." The Independent(London) "In Garcia Marquez's prose, Littin's actions become truly heroic and the clandestine hero achieves the grandeur of all popular heroes…readers now have the story of a magnificent civil disobedience." The Globe and Mail(Canada) "Garcia Marquez's book is based on hours of taped interviews with Littin, and is retold in the first person, which gives it suspense and immediacy and brings embattled Chile vividly to life…it portrays a government without legitimacy, a people living in fear and a resistance movement determined to fight for change." The Sunday Times(London) "A rousing adventure story, this is also the best reportage available about conditions in Chile today." "Fluid and full of surprises." The Washington Post "Two foremost artists of Latin America meet in this breathtaking story…Clandestineis a fascinating literary journey…the book alone is celebration enough of human ingenuity and determination. I recommend it wholeheartedly." Marjorie Agosin,The Christian Science Monitor "Marquez re-creates the story brilliantly from taped interviews with Littin and writes it in first person." Claire Scobie,The Sun Hearld(Sydney) "An extraordinary if Chaplinesque adventure which would make good comedy if it did not take place against the background of one of the most repressive regimes in modern times…[it succeeds] as a reporting style swinging freely between effervescence and emotionalism." Courrier Mail, "The journalism which began Mrquez's Nobel Prize-winning career is employed here not only to tell Littn's remarkable story, but offer a tragic summary of Chilean politics." --The Independent (London) "Reissued nearly 25 years after its initial appearance, the book recounts a middle-aged caper, vainglorious yet genuinely gripping. Time has drained the adventure of its urgency, and our geographical and cultural distance blunts its force. Still, this remains a significant document. An invaluable preface by Francisco Goldman explains why." --The Boston Globe " Clandestine in Chile is a memoir of Mr. Littin's six-week adventure, as told to and recast by Mr. Garcia Marquez, and a sketch for what the latter calls the film behind the film, the personal story he finds more moving than the original film project.
