One of the best books you'll ever read,
By
This review is from: Cien anos de soledad (Contemporanea) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I've had this book in my collection for the last 5 years. I tried to pick it up when I was 20 but I'm glad I waited. A couple of nights ago I couldn't sleep and went to my study to pick it up. I haven't slept since.
Cien años de soledad is a literary triumph. It tells us the story of the Buendías, the founders of Macondo, a small village somewhere in South America (my guess being Colombia, of course). García Márquez takes the reader into the lives and deaths and everything in between of this singular family and how their lives, though so magical and tragic at times, relate to yours and mine. The language and diction are just perfect (though I recommend a good Spanish dictionary because some words can be tricky), making you travel to this very remote place and experience ice, magnets, telegraphs, trains and bananas for the very first time. This is without a doubt, one of the best books you'll ever read. Get a piece of paper, write down the family tree (because it will get confusing) and enjoy the ride. "...porque las estirpes condenadas a cien años de soledad no tienen una segunda oportunidad sobre la tierra."

This review is from: Cien anos de soledad (Contemporanea) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
no telling where the currently seated president places it.
As for the rest, seems like you folks never read GGM's "other bible": James Joyce's Ulysses
