In the book that put South America on the literary map, Márquez tells the haunting story of a community lost in the deep corners of this powerful continent where time passes slowly. A poetic masterpiece whose rich and powerful language easily survives translation from Spanish, this is the most legendary text of magical realism. The mysterious story of the Buendía family from the village of Macondo, which does nothing less than recall the entire history of humankind, has had an influence on global literature unmatched by any other book of our time. In its rich understanding of the ways in which political, personal, and spiritual spheres intertwine and unravel, in their unions and births, in their battles and truces, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" contains a world that we could never have imagined on our own. Yet, once we encounter it, it seems as familiar as the world of our own childhood.
