A LOOOOOOONG BOOK TITLE

A pretty short novel by Gabriel García Márquez is conveniently titled (the original title is in Spanish, this is a translation into English):
The Tale of a Castaway, who spent ten Days adrift on a Raft without eating or drinking, was proclaimed Hero of his Parent Nation, kissed by Beauty Queens, made Wealthy through Public Relations, and then abominated by the Government and forgotten for Eternity.

No surprise that the title is abridged as The Tale of a Castaway (Relato de un náufrago is the original title).
