About the author
Gabriel García Márquez
1,005 books41.6k followersGabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez was a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist. García Márquez, familiarly known as "Gabo" in his native country, was considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He studied at the University of Bogotá and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best-known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled as magical realism, which uses magical elements and events in order to explain real experiences. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo, and most of them express the theme of solitude.
Having previously written shorter fiction and screenplays, García Márquez sequestered himself away in his Mexico City home for an extended period of time to complete his novel Cien años de soledad, or One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967. The author drew international acclaim for the work, which ultimately sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. García Márquez is credited with helping introduce an array of readers to magical realism, a genre that combines more conventional storytelling forms with vivid, layers of fantasy.
Another one of his novels, El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985), or Love in the Time of Cholera, drew a large global audience as well. The work was partially based on his parents' courtship and was adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem. García Márquez wrote seven novels during his life, with additional titles that include El general en su laberinto (1989), or The General in His Labyrinth, and Del amor y otros demonios (1994), or Of Love and Other Demons.

Cent ans de solitude, chef-d'œuvre du réalisme magique, plonge le lecteur dans l'histoire fascinante de la famille Buendia. Gabriel García Márquez mêle habilement réalité historique et éléments fantastiques dans un style dense et riche. Le roman explore les thèmes de la solitude, de l'oubli et de l'inceste à travers une narration où le temps semble suspendu.
Ce roman captivant et complexe offre une expérience de lecture unique, mêlant réalisme et fantastique avec brio. La richesse narrative et la profondeur des thèmes abordés en font une œuvre marquante de la littérature mondiale. Cependant, son style dense et sa structure non linéaire peuvent parfois dérouter. Cette œuvre reste néanmoins un incontournable pour les amateurs de littérature ambitieuse et innovante.

Magique et fourmillant des périples d'une lignée condamnée. Temps qui passe, solitude, on s'y laisse perdre avec plaisir a condition de s'accrocher.
