One Hundred Years of Solitude is a novel written by Gabriel García Márquez, published in the year 1967. It is one of the greatest progenitors of the modern magical realism, set in the fictional city of Macondo, tracing the lifeline of the generations of the Buendía family. The novel is perhaps the most significant work in the magical realism literary canon, and is embellished with a simple and musical prose, wrought with striking images, metaphors, symbols and allegories. The narrative is glazed with perhaps hundreds of swiftly moving anecdotes, passing in small spasms through the fleeting air, inducing a dream-like quality. It is very clear from the first paragraph, that Gabriel Garcia Marquez, is an original, one of his own kind. One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the finest novels ever written, which between its covers, reflects and meditates upon the whole continent of human emotions that any heart has ever known. A landmark book.
