ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS BOOKS AND WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE
FOR LITERATURE _______________________________ 'Many years later,
as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to
remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to
discover ice' Gabriel Garcia Marquez's great masterpiece is the
story of seven generations of the Buendia 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 Buendia
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. _______________________________
'Should be required reading for the entire human race' The New York
Times 'The book that sort of saved my life' Emma Thompson 'No lover
of fiction can fail to respond to the grace of Marquez's writing'
