Pełen opis produktu 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' »
Gabriel Garcia Marquez has been one of the undisputed literary
giants of the past century; his stories are vivid, energetic,
tender and unforgettable; they have touched the lives of readers
across the globe and earned him countless awards including the
Nobel Prize for Literature. In the wake of the author's death, his
most beloved novel is reissued in commemorative hardback edition.
One Hundred Years of Solitude is endlessly fascinating, an
intricately patterned work of fiction and a joyful, irrepressible
celebration of humanity. Vibrantly colourful and teeming with life,
this timeless tale blends the natural with the supernatural in one
of the most magical reading experiences on earth. 'Many years
later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was
to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to
discover ice.' Gabriel Garcia Marquez's great masterpiece is the
story of seven generations of the Buendia 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 its miracles.A microcosm of Columbian life, its
secrets lie hidden, encoded in a book, and only Aureliano Buendia
can fathom its mysteries and reveal its shrouded destiny. Blending
political reality with magic realism, fantasy and comic invention,
One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the most daringly original
works of the twentieth century. "Dazzling". (The New York Times).

prominent voice of Latin American literature, Gabriel Garcia
Marquez received international recognition for his novels, works of
non-fiction and collections of short stories. Those published in
translation by Penguin include Autumn of the Patriarch, Bon Voyage
