One Hundred Years of Solitude
About this book
One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitudeis a dazzling and original achievement by the masterful Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. One Hundred Years of Solitudetells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendia family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, and alive with unforgettable men and women--brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul--this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction. "One Hundred Years of Solitudeis the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race.... Mr. Garcia Marquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life."--New York Times Book Review "More lucidity, wit, wisdom, and poetry than is expected from one hundred years of novelists, let alone one man."--Washington Post Book World
