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, Littín 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfterwards, the great novelist Gabriel García Márquez sat down with Littín 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, García Márquez wrote it down. \u003cem\u003eClandestine in Chile\u003c\/em\u003e is a true-life adventure story and a classic of modern reportage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gabriel Garcia-Marquez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953153830959,"sku":"9781590173404","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9781590173404.jpg?v=1770793447","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/clandestine-in-chile-the-adventures-of-miguel-littin-new-york-review-books-classics","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
