100 Years Of Solitude (Gabriel García Márquez) - Book Review
Have you read one of the classics of Latin American literature? '100 Year of Solitude' is the magnus opus of the Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez. Although only published in 1967 it is already a classic book of worldwide literature. It is a long meandering book that tells the story of the Buendía family in the magical town of Macondo.
I read this book in Spanish so my impression of the book comes from the original text, however with a bit less comprehension as Spanish is not my native language. The book touches upon the changing of time and fortune & the strange sense of pleasure that can be derived from loneliness/nostalgia. One of the finest examples of 'magic realism' style and well worth the time invested to read. Definitely recommended for those who would describe themselves as nostalgic or wistful as the book exquisitely captures that essence of feeling. I hope you enjoy, Kyrin out!
