Synopsis
"Muchos anos despues, frente al peloton de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendia habia de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevo a conocer el hielo."Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias mas fascinantes del siglo veinte. Millones de ejemplares de Cien anos de soledad leidos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se habia abierto paso a "boca a boca"--como gusta decir el escritor--son la mas palpable demostracion de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendia-Iguaran, con sus milagros, fantasias, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldias, descubrimientos, y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.

Review
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.
