One Hundred Years of Solitude


Rating:★★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Author:Gabriel Garcia Marquez
With the six generations of the Buendia family, it’s like reading six books bound into one! It is not an ordinary fiction that an ordinary man can write. Hey, it’s Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, so what do you expect? It talks about strange relationships within the family and of the community, about politics, magic, and a little touch of science. It is an epic tale about generations, yet it describes the solitary journey of each character, which reveals a kind surrealistic world of fantasy which flares up one's imagination to a great extent. The point that everything runs around in a circle within the family is sooo true.
