Rate this book
Još jedno izdanje i prijevod proslavljenog romana prevedenog na desetke svjetskih jezika, nagrađenog s mnogim međunarodnim nagradama, a autoru je omogućilo Nobelovu nagradu za književnost 1982. godine. Roman je to velike ljudske i obiteljske samoće - elementa koji se provlavči kroz sve teme, ideju, motive, sve likove, bez obzira na spol i dob. Samoća zahvaća čitav narod Latinske Amerike (mitskog grada Makonda) koji je prikazan u djelu bez obzira na njihovu nepredvidljivu narav, strast, temperament i tradiciju mitova i vradžbina. Upravo je zbog prisutnosti mitova i običaja u svim slojevima, romanu se pripisuje epitet "magičnog realizma". Čudesan svijet događaja i likova predstavljenih kroz ironiju i tragediju, svrstavaju ovaj roman u sam vrh svjetske književnosti.

Gabriel 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.
