One Hundred Years of Solitude

by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and transalted by Gregory Rabassa
 
Anjeli says “One Hundred Years of Solitude is a funny, poignant summer read.
Watch the Buendías family carve a life for themselves in the unforgiving bedrock of a world that wants them dead. Here, finally, is a book that wonders if love and doom are different names for the same thing.”
 
Gabriel García Márquez's great masterpiece is the story of seven generations of the Buendía family and of Macondo, the town they built. Though little more than a settlement surrounded by mountains, Macondo has its wars and disasters, even its wonders and its miracles. A microcosm of Columbian life, its secrets lie hidden, encoded in a book, and only Aureliano Buendía can fathom its mysteries and reveal its shrouded destiny.

Blending political reality with magic realism, fantasy and comic invention, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the most daringly original works of the twentieth century.
