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.

Media Reviews
"In a beautiful translation, surrealism and innocence blend to form a wholly individual style. Like rum calentano, the story goes down easily, leaving a rich, sweet burning flavor behind."
-- Time
"You emerge from this marvelous novel as if from a dream, the mind on fire...with a single bound, Garcia Marquez leaps onto the stage with Gunter Grass and Vladimir Nabokov, his appetite as enormous as his imagination, his fatalism greater than either. Dazzling."
-- New York Times Book Review

Publisher's Notes
A classic of world literature for all time--and probably Marquez's most famous work. "The first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race . . . with more lucidity, wit, wisdom, and poetry than is expected from 100 years of novelists, let alone one man".--Washington Post Book World.

The Newcomes
by William Makepeace Thackeray
Thackeray's hero Clive Newcome, son of the generous and great-hearted Colonel Newcome, loves his cousin Ethel but their union is thwarted by human weakness, by the villainous Barnes and by Lady Kew, 'the wickedest old dear in all England'. Subtitled 'Memoirs of a Most Respectable Family', the novel makes a devastating attack on Victorian respectability, the unhappy marriages and misalliances engendered in a self-aggrandizing, money-worshipping society.
A Brahms Reader
by Michael Musgrave
Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) was prominent not only as a composer but as a pianist, conductor, editor, scholar, collector, and friend of many notables. He was also, in private, an articulate critic, connoisseur of other arts, and traveler. In this enlightening book, the eminent Brahms scholar Michael Musgrave presents a comprehensive and original account of the composer's private and professional lives. Drawing on an array of documentary materials, Musgrave weaves together diverse strands to illuminate Brahms's character and personality; his outlook as a composer; his attitudes toward other composers; his activities as pianist and conductor; his scholarly and cultural interests; his friendships with Robert and Clara Schumann and others; his social life and travel; and critical attitudes toward his music from his own time to the present. The book quotes extensively from Brahms's own words and those of his circle. Musgrave mines the composer's letters, reminiscences of his contemporaries, early biographies, reviews, and commentary by friends, critics, and scholars to create an unparalleled source of information about Brahms. The author sets the materials in context, identifies sources in detail, includes a glossary of information on principal individuals, and notes recent research on the composer. This engaging biographical work, with a gallery of illustrations, will appeal to general music lovers as well as to scholars with a special interest in Brahms.
