“Races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.” A tale that expertly weaves historical events into a fictional and sometimes strange setting, One Hundred Years of Solitude has been called “the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race” (New York Times Book Review). A major example of Latin American magical realism.
