"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. . . . Garc a M rquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life." --William Kennedy, National Observer
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 Garc a M rquez, 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 Buendi 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.
This book is so creatively put together in a certain way it can only take the reader into the world of these fascinating and unique characters. The experience of reading this book is a journey into one's own soul.

Really quite a lot in this. Not for the faint at heart but wow just wow. Yes a very difficult read however so worth it and really makes you think. Don’t be afraid to get a pencil and paper to keep a detailed record of the characters…many have the same name and it really does jump around so much.
