Not a fan of magical realism ( )
  denmoir | Apr 27, 2024 |
A sad and enchanting book. ( )
  Chrissylou62 | Apr 11, 2024 |
Cien años de soledad es una historia perfecta: tragedia, triunfo y el círculo de la vida. Desde las primeras líneas hasta la última página, Gabriel García Márquez, mezcla magia con realidad para crear personajes inolvidables. Es el primer libro que leo en español y la poesía de cada línea me hace enamorarme aún más del idioma.

It is a flawless representation of the human experience. I will read it again in English and again in Spanish and treasure this work for all of its profound insights. ( )

First words
Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.
Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo.
(Albanian)
Shumë vjet më vonë, përballë togës së pushkatimit, kolonel Aureliano Buendía-s do t'i kujtohej ajo pasdite e largët kur i ati e çoi të shihte akullin.
(Bulgarian)
Много години по-късно, пред взвода за разстрел, полковник Аурелиано Буендия щеше да си спомни онзи далечен подиробед, когато баща му го заведе да види леда.
(Catalan)
Molts anys després, enfront de l'escamot d'afusellament, el Coronel Aureliano Buendía hauria de recordar aquella vesprada remota en què el seu pare el va portar a conéixer el gel.

Book description
Da José Arcadio ad Aureliano, dalla scoperta del ghiaccio alla decifrazione delle pergamene di Melquíades: sette generazioni di Buendía inseguono un destino ineluttabile. Con questo romanzo tumultuoso che usa i toni della favola, sorretto da un linguaggio portentoso e da una prodigiosa fantasia, Gabriel García Márquez ha saputo rifondare la realtà e, attraverso Macondo, creare un vero e proprio paradigma dell'esistenza umana. Un universo di solitudini incrociate, impenetrabili ed eterne, in cui galleggia una moltitudine di eroi. Edizione del cinquantenario (1967-2017).
(piopas)
Haiku summary
Melquiades warns,
a message recieved late,
beware of the ants.
(leahdawn)
