Description

Latin American author Gabriel García Márquez tells the story of several generations of the Buendía family, who founded the town of Macondo. It’s a story of a rise and fall of a family and town, the dominant theme being the circular nature of history and how difficult it is for Latin America to escape from the vicious circle that keeps the region underdeveloped. One Hundred Years of Solitude is probably the best representative of the genre of magical realism, a combination of a realistic view of the world with magical elements presented as part of the realistic world.
