Cien aýos de soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude)
- Book Review,
by Gabriel Garcýa Mýrquez


Amazon.com
A dense jungle of magic and literary gusto, this book pulls you in and engulfs you with its richness and beauty. Saying it is a story of a family is like saying the New Testament is a book about a carpenter. Following the family here reveals the history of several generations, and the passions, thoughts, and myths of a labyrinth of people, related and not. Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a gifted writer, and nowhere does he write with the fervor that he does in One Hundred Years of Solitude, a pleasurable ride unmatched in modern literature.


The New York Times Book Review, Robert Kiely
Though concocted of quirks, ancient mysteries, family secrets and peculiar contradictions, it makes sense and gives pleasure in dozens of immediate ways.


Publisher Comments

Cien a￯﾿ᄑos de soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude)

FROM THE PUBLISHER

A classic of world literature for all time--and probably Marquez's most famous work. "The first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race . . . with more lucidity, wit, wisdom, and poetry than is expected from 100 years of novelists, let alone one man."-- Washington Post Book World.

SPANISH LANGUAGE COMMENTARY

1967. En Buenos Aires aparece la novela de un escritor colombiano de cuarenta años. No queda hoy lengua literaria a la que no haya sido traducida. Cien años de soledad no sólo cautiva a los lectores de cualquier condición: su impulso poderoso ha levantado las letras castellanas de todo un continente. Desvelar la magia de su prosa, acotar las arenas movedizas de su particular quehacer literario son tareas tan imposibles como dañinas; sí agradecerá el lector, en cambio, la aclaración de ciertas alusiones, la comprobación de la densidad que subyace a un texto aparentemente diáfano. No nos engañemos: son millones las páginas que han engendrado las de la novela, pero ante ella al lector no le queda otra actitud que la misma lectura devoradora y deslumbrada del último de los Aurelianos.
