Descrizione
Det er ægteparret José og Ursula Buendia, fætter og kusine, som engang i 1800-tallets begyndelse grundlægger flækken. Márquez befolker den med en broget skare af lidenskabelige kvinder, eventyrlystne mænd, pjaltede sigøjnere og hvileløse ånder. Trods frygten for indavl drages slægtens mænd på forunderlig vis generation efter generation mod slægtens kvinder alt imens moderne landvindinger på godt og ondt trænger sig på udefra. Men Buendia-familien er underlagt den skæbne, som bogens titel hentyder til: menneskets ensomhed.
Under magien og fablen finder man Márquez’ indignation over socialuretfærdighed og hans litterære protest mod de politiske forhold.
PRESSEN SKREV:
»»100 års ensomhed« rummer en strøm af sanselighed, humor og vidtfavnende kreativitet. Man fornemmer duften af oregano og overvældes af fantasirigdommen.«

Probably García Márquez finest and most famous work. One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of a mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendia family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, alive with unforgettable men and women, and with a truth and understanding that strike the soul. One Hundred Years of Solitude is a masterpiece of the art of fiction.
With all due respect to the author, Gabriel García Márquez, who tells this profoundly complex story, I must admit that I did not like One Hundred Years of Solitude. The sheer length and repetition of the underlying theme did not appeal to me.
It is a dull book. While I won't disparage it entirely, I feel it does not deserve to be reread. The written version struck me as quite difficult to follow: it is filled with passages, and a prose that interweaves within other connections, which collectively form the fabric of the story.
If you don't read the entire book, the main protagonist's story cannot be fully understood. And within its own context, the story often seems to lack a clear purpose.
