"One Hundred Years of Solitude is the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race. . . . Mr. Garcia Marquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life." --William Kennedy, New York Times Book Review

One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains a dazzling and original achievement by the masterful Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad and alive with unforgettable men and women--brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul--this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction.

I have heard about this book from many authors - who loved it. Given that recommendation, I feel like something got lost in the English translation. It's a very dark story travelling through various generations of the same family. The misery feels repetitive and quite depressing, ALTHOUGH it doesn't mean you want to stop reading it due to Marquez's talent as a story teller. Was the author trying to tell us that everything turns to dust in the end? Not sure ... if anything thats the greatest impact of this book on me - wondering what it was all about.
