The best work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist, the novel is translated into many languages. This captivating story of four family generations is considered to be a book of human life and an encyclopedia of human love. “One Hundred Years of Solitude” follows the history of the Buendia family: origin, bloom, decline and disappearance. It is a story of loneliness, which one way or another presented in the life of every Buendia. Solitude, disconnection of the members of family, their inability to understand each other get a mythological streak in the novel, as well as the whole history of the family turns out to be somewhat ancestral myth. This “magical realism” of the prose appears an important instrument that creates a unique picture of America.
