Chilean poet and Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda called One Hundred Years of Solitude, “the greatest revelation in the Spanish language since Don Quixote of Cervantes.” In the New York Times legendary critic John Leonard proclaimed, “with a single bound, Gabriel García Márquez leaps onto the stage with Günter Grass and Vladimir Nabokov.” And writer William Kennedy has hailed García Márquez’s masterpiece as, “the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race. Mr. García Márquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life.” Over four decades after its publication, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains one of the most beloved and venerated books in world literature. A rich and brilliant chronicle of life and death, it tells the story of the mythical town of Macondo through the lives of seven generations of the doomed Buendía family.
