About The Book

Referred to as a "Gothic cathedral of language," this 20th-century classic is the enormous and splendid tapestry of the Buendía family saga, set in the mythical village of Macondo.

ONE OF THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF THE LAST 125 YEARS ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES

An essential reference to Latin American life and narrative.

«Many years later, facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía would remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. Macondo was then a village of twenty houses made of mud and cane built on the banks of a river with clear waters that rushed down a bed of polished stones, white and enormous like prehistoric eggs. The world was so new that many things lacked names, and to mention them you had to point at them with your finger.»

With these words begins the novel that is already legendary in the annals of universal literature, one of the most fascinating literary adventures of our century. Millions of copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude read in all languages and the Nobel Prize for Literature crowning a work that had spread by word of mouth - as the writer likes to say - are the most palpable demonstration that the fabulous adventure of the Buendía-Iguarán family, with its miracles, fantasies, obsessions, tragedies, incests, adulteries, rebellions, discoveries and condemnations, represented at the same time the myth and the history, the tragedy and the love of the entire world.
