Review
“You emerge from this marvelous novel as if from a dream, the mind on fire . . . With a single bound, Gabriel García Márquez leaps onto the stage with Günter Grass and Vladimir Nabokov, his appetite as enormous as his imagination, his fatalism greater than either. Dazzling.”—THE NEW YORK TIMES“García Márquez forces upon us at every page the wonder and extravagance of life, while compassionately mocking its effusions; and when the book ends . . . we are left with that pleasant exhaustion which only very great novels provide . . . [García Márquez] makes us feel as if we had survived his century of articulate dreams only to awaken and discover that they must finally all come true.”—THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS“In a beautiful translation, surrealism and innocence blend to form a wholly individual style. Like rum calentano, the story goes down easily, leaving a rich, sweet burning flavor behind.”—TIME“Rabassa's translation is a triumph of fluent, gravid momentum, all stylishness and commonsensical virtuosity . . . García Márquez feeds the mind's eye non-stop . . . Like the jungle itself, this novel comes back again and again, fecund, savage and irresistible.”—CHICAGO TRIBUNE BOOK WORLD

The One Book To Bring On A Deserted Island
By Kirk Nichols
I was in a book club for three years. It was called Erudite Tonight. We read a book every month. Of all the classic books I've read, 100 Years of Solitude was the absolute best.
It chronicles a family through a hundred years. It's dense storytelling, like a condensed soup, where an entire story is told in the span of a page. It's a huge chronicle, like reading the summary of a century's old soap opera. Like The Simpsons, storylines repeat. But that's the point of the book. Sometimes they learn from their mistakes, other times the characters (all of the protagonists are of a single family) are ignorant of their family's past.
It also introduced me to the world of magical-realism, where magic is rare, but exists, disguised as coincidences.
I HIGHLY recommend this novel.

One for the ages!
By Markus
One Hundred Years of Solitude really isn't as difficult or confusing as some reviews make it seem. People make it seem like it's impossible to get through so many repeating names, but even when the characters share a name, almost every single character (until the last generation--and by that point the first characters are long gone so that it wasn't really confusing) has a unique name. How is that confusing? And anyway, it doesn't take too many chapters or a genius to figure out they all share the same names for a reason. Also, I must say, if you don't like the first 50-100 pages, you probably aren't going to like the rest of the book. It stays like that... Plus, the first Jose Arcadio Buendia is one of the more entertaining characters in the book, in my opinion. But, I think Aureliano Segundo and Remedios The Beauty were the highlights in this book. I was cracking up throughout their scenes.
Although I feel I missed a lot about what was going on symbolically whilst reading (mostly a lot of the religious stuff), I still found this book to be extremely enjoyable. It's inspiring and surreal, whimsical, funny and sad--and it all causes a person to feel very introspective, because it blends so many aspects of what makes up a person's life. I looked up some of the themes and motifs after reading to make sure I caught everything, and I prefer many of my own interpretations. And I think Gabriel Garcia Marquez meant to write it in a way that was a more personal experience. At the end notes, he mentions in an interview how he wanted to capture the way an abuela tells stories to her grandchildren-- and I got that vibe the whole time. And a lot of times, the surreal in crazy old latin american stories is what makes you remember the life lessons behind the story. And I feel like that's what happened here.
But again, I feel like most people I know wouldn't like this book, and I can see where they're coming from. It definitely isn't for everyone. And I must stress that that's not coming from a pretentious place. His writing style will be frustrating to many readers I'd presume, because it's really just incredibly unique. But, if you can get past the style (long paragraphs, little fluctuation in narration, mentioning things that haven't really happened yet, or no main protagonist... etc) and the repetition of names, it really isn't super complicated or anything.
It isn't perfect, but It's great. And even though I started this review planning to give it four stars, after writing it--I think it's an important enough, and intricately weaved enough, and a unique enough a piece to warrant a 5-star from this fella.

who have great physical strength but are marked by having a tragic ...
By Maura Goetzel
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez is a rich, complex, multi-dimensional book that is told in the magical realism style. It tells the story of a several generations of a Colombian family that establishes the town of Macondo in an otherwise desolate swampland. The story begins with the patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, in the 1800s and continues into the 20th century with his descendants still living in the town.
As the book tells the story of the family over 100 years, it utilizes different and implausible devices to convey the sense that time is essentially a never ending circle. For example, repetition is commonly used in this story as a way to categorize the male family members by way of their first names, the José Arcadios, who have great physical strength but are marked by having a tragic and often suspicious death. For example, José Arcadio Buendía spends his last years rambling in Latin while tied up to a tree, while his son, José Arcadio dies mysteriously in his room after hearing a gunshot. In stark contrast are the Aurelianos who, instead of relying on physical strength, rely on their intellectual capabilities. Many of Aurelianos, for instance, were often found “enclosed in [the] workshop...[working on] the little gold fishes” (198), which is never adequately explained by the author. This is perhaps one of the aspects of magical realism that makes it difficult to enjoy the book with respect to the story being told: incoherent and unlikely things occur, with no explanation, and are simply presumed to be part of the natural life of the family.
In addition to repetition, Márquez also uses foreshadowing to explain the entire history of the Buendía family through Melquíades’ prophecies, who first appears as part of the wondrous gypsy group who tries to sell unusual items on the streets of Macondo and eventually evolves into José Arcadio Buendía’s friend and confidant. He later reappears in the Buendía house after his death as a ghostly figure, thus reenforcing the theme of magical realism, something so abstract and fantastical, appearing in this family’s everyday life. It is this reliance on the unlikely or supernatural that makes the book more of an educational read than an enjoyable one.
Spoiler alert: at the end of the book it is revealed that Melquíades prophecies, written in sanskrit and deciphered by Aureliano Babilonia, were in reality the history of the entire Buendía family and the book that we were reading was actually the prophecies of Melquíades.
Even though the circumstances surrounding the family are implausible, I thought the book presented a convincing portrayal of a proud and wealthy Colombian family that is surrounded by delusional, strange characters and unusual events. While Márquez’s literary style is difficult to follow and certainly not intended for leisurely reading, it is worthwhile for those who are willing to expend the time and effort and want to be enriched by Márquez’s mastery of language. In sum, while the story itself is dense and not exactly a thrilling page-turner, the reader can easily applaud Márquez’s intricate and gifted literary abilities.
