One Hundred Years of Solitude
Overview & Summary
Gabriel García Márquez's masterpiece traces seven generations of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo, blending everyday reality with the fantastical -- ghosts, prophecies, a plague of insomnia, a rain that lasts nearly five years -- in a style that came to define literary magical realism. The novel is at once an intimate family saga and a sweeping allegory for the history and cyclical tragedies of Latin America, and it won García Márquez the Nobel Prize in Literature.
