Book summary

A beguiling mix of politics, magic, romance, and sex, the saga of the mysterious history of the Buendia family of the village of Macondo does nothing less than recapitulate the entire history of the human race. Written in a fairly experimental style with little regard for traditional novelistic conventions, Garcia Marquez's novel incorporates emotional responses in favor of plot, a cyclical approach to fractured time lines, and many different characters with similar or identical names, and an emotional responses. An immediate success on it's initial publication, ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE was eventually translated in more than 40 languages and established Garcia Marquez as one of the preeminent authors of his generation.
