One Hundred Years of Solitude
By Gabriel García Márquez
Categories: Literature & Fiction
In the mythical town of Macondo, generation after generation of the Buendía family live through love and lust, war and revolution, riches and ruin. Over one hundred years, the town rises from nothing and the family's fortunes rise with it. Mixing the miraculous with the everyday, Gabriel García Márquez tells a story that is by turns tender and comic, political and personal. Many readers see the history of Latin America in its pages.
