100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Perhaps one of the most popular Nobel prize for Literature winners of our time, Gabriel Garcia Marquez? One Hundred Years of Solitude is a wonderfully written novel about the town of Marcondo and the Buendia family. Living in an isolated world for many years, Jos? Arcadio Buend?a, is an impulsive and inquisitive leader who obsesses in investigating mysterious events and such trait was passed on to his descendents. Macondo’s evolutionary transformation is traced parallel to the events in the lives of the Buendia family - which took more than a century of poignant events, generation after generation.

Garc?a M?rquez describes are the major turning points in the lives of the Buend?as: births, deaths, marriages, love affairs.

The book makes an equally striking end as its beginning: the village ending up in isolation yet again. Interestingly, the surviving Buend?a members turn to incestuous relationships manifesting their feeling of alienation from the outside world– doomed to eternal solitude.

From the Publisher:

One of the 20th century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world, and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize?winning career.

The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buend?a family. It is a rich and brilliant chronicle of life and death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the noble, ridiculous, beautiful, and tawdry story of the Buend?a family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an accounting of the history of the human.
