Beskrivning
Equally tragic, joyful and comical, Gabriel García Márquez's masterpiece of magical realism, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a seamless blend of fantasy and reality, translated from the Spanish by Gregory Rabassa in Penguin Modern Classics.Gabriel García Márquez's great masterpiece is the story of seven generations of the Buendía family and of Macondo, the town they have built. Though little more than a settlement surrounded by mountains, Macondo has its wars and disasters, even its wonders and miracles. A microcosm of Columbian life, its secrets lie hidden, encoded in a book and only Aureliano Buendía can fathom its mysteries and reveal its shrouded destiny. Blending political reality with magic realism, fantasy with comic invention, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the most daringly original works of the twentieth century.Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928) was born in Aracataca, Colombia. He is the author of several novels, including Leaf Storm (1955), One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975), Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981) and The General in His Labyrinth (1989). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.If you enjoyed One Hundred Years of Solitude, you might like Love in the Time of Cholera, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'With a single bound Gabriel García Márquez leaps on the stage with Günter Grass and Vladimir Nabokov ... dazzling'The New York Times

    Det kanske inte är rätt att recensera något som jag inte orkade mer än halvvägs igenom, men jag orkade iaf tillräckligt långt för att inse att detta var trams, nobelpristagare eller inte. Osammanhängande, någon slags magisk realism, ingen direkt handling eller personligheter i boken. Såg den liknas vid Don Quixote som någont slags fantastisk litteratur och jag kan hålla med om likhet - jag orkade inte heller igenom den boken f

  2. 5/5 Linus H

    It is a very nice edition (for a paperback). The book has a very bendy and soft structure but without feeling cheap or like it's going to break. The pages a thin and feel very nice, I have not noticed any misprint or other fault in the text. There are also some quite pretty symbols at the start of chapters. The spine is the same colour as the front. Highly recommend this edition.
