설명
노벨문학상 수상작가 가브리엘 마르케스의 대표 장편소설 『백년 동안의 고독』. 1982년 노벨문학상 수상작으로, 중남미 문학의 특징인 '마술적 리얼리즘'의 원조격인 소설로 평가받는다. 마을에서 도시로 팽창하다가 신기루처럼 사라져간 마콘도를 무대로 한 집안의 백년에 걸친 역사와, 기이한 자녀를 에워싸고 일어나는 이야기를 엮은 작품이다. 라틴 아메리카의 복합적인 인종, 문화, 역사적 전통과 현실을 배경으로 하여, 라틴아메리카의 특수한 사회구조를 생생하게 그려냈다.

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.
