Now a Netflix original series! “An irresistible work of storytelling, mixing the magic of the fairy tale, the realistic detail of the domestic novel and the breadth of the family saga.” — New York Times One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains a dazzling and original achievement by the masterful Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. In 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude launched Gabriel Garcia Marquez to international fame and cemented his reputation as a literary legend. Chilean poet and Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda calledthe novel “the greatest revelation in the Spanish language since Don Quixote of Cervantes.” Writer William Kennedy hailed One Hundred Years of Solitude as “the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race.” More than five decades after its publication, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains one of the most beloved and venerated books in world literature. A rich and brilliant chronicle of life and death, it tells the story of the mythical town of Macondo through the lives of seven generations of the doomed Buendia family. In the noble, outrageous, beautiful, and tawdy story of the Buendias, 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 interweaves the political, personal, and spiritual, bringing a new consciousness to storytelling; this radiant work is a masterpiece of the art of fiction.
