Gabriel García Márquez: Cien Anos De Soledad / 100 Years of Solitude (Contemporanea) (Spanish language, 2003, Debolsillo) 4 žvaigždutės

It´s the best work of García Márquez. A novel that narrates the vicisitudes of Aureliano …

I'm told that the real beauty of Marquez is revealed in the original Spanish. The English version was pretty incredible; what sprawling, intricate tome.

My strongest impression was of the passage of time. You begin the work with a set of characters and witness them living their lives and exiting the story in their own time. The story ends with their descendants. As a father of a young child with elderly parents, I think a lot these days about the passage of time and the poigance of impermanence. The book summoned up sadness and nostalgia. It was very moving.
