Marquez G.G
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Аннотация
Famously associated with the term ‘magical realism’,
Marquez is probably South America’s most famous
literary export. Equally tragic, joyful and comical,
One Hundred Years of Solitude inhabits a strange
dream-like space where very little makes real sense,
but everything is mysteriously and vividly alive
nonetheless. Blending fantasy and reality seamlessly,
the characters struggle hopelessly against a
merciless backdrop of madness, corruption and death…
all measured out equally with farce and fatality; as
profound a statement on the human condition as
possible. In every sense, this is literature on the
grandest of scales.
An acknowledged
masterpiece, this is the story of seven generations
of the Buendía family and of Macondo, the town they
have built. Though little more than a settlement
surrounded by mountains, Macondo has its wars and
disasters, even its wonders and miracles. A microcosm
of Columbian life, its secrets lie hidden, encoded in
a book and only Aureliano Buendía can fathom its
mysteries and reveal its shrouded destiny. Blending
political reality with magic realism, fantasy with
comic invention, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one
of the most daringly original works of the twentieth
century.
