One Hundred Years of Solitude

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

One Hundred Years of Solitude

Paperback (Harper Perennial Modern Classics May 30, 2006) , Translation edition

"One Hundred Years of Solitude is 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."
William Kennedy, New York Times Book Review

“More lucidity, wit, wisdom, and poetry than is expected from 100 years of novelists, let alone one man.”
—Washington Post

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.

One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá 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.
