About This Book
One of the 20th century's 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 Prize winning career.
The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo
through the history of the Buendia family. It is a rich and brilliant chronicle
of life and death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the noble, ridiculous,
beautiful, and tawdry story of the Buendia family, one sees all of humanity,
just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of
Latin America.
Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility -- the
variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth --
these universal themes dominate the novel. Whether he is describing an affair of
passion or the voracity of capitalism and the corruption of government, Gabriel
Garcia Marquez always writes with the simplicity, ease, and purity that are the
mark of a master.
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
accounting of the history of the human race.
