Cien Años De Soledad Synopsis

"Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendìa habìa de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo".

Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leìdos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se habìa abierto paso a "boca a boca" -como gusta decir el escritor- son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendìa-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasìas, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldìas, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 

"One Hundred Years of Solitude is the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race. . . . Mr. Garcia Marquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life." -William Kennedy, New York Times Book Review

One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains a dazzling and original achievement by the masterful Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad and alive with unforgettable men and women-brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul-this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction.
