Synopsis

One of the twentieth centurys enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prizewinning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buenda family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the story of the Buenda family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is an absolute ground-breaking book; it is intelligent, creative and full of powerful anecdotal wisdom. It deservedly won the noble prize for literature. But how enjoyable is it? How readable is it? Gabriel García Márquez, plays around with reality itself; he plays aroun......more
