"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice. Macondo was then a village of twenty adobe and cana houses built on the bank of a river of clear waters that plunged through a bed of polished stones, white and enormous as prehistoric eggs. The world was so recent that many things lacked a name, and to mention them one had to point to them with a finger."A myth in its own right, hailed by its readers as the most important Spanish-language work after the Bible, One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the saga of the Buendía family and their curse, which punishes marriage between relatives by giving them children with pig tails. Like an overflowing river, over the course of a century their destinies will intertwine through marvelous events in the fantastic town of Macondo, in a narrative that is the undisputed pinnacle of magical realism and boom literature. A universal allegory, it is also a vision of Latin America and a parable about human history. |
