100 Years of Solitude (Fiction Book)

by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

An amazing fantasy about the history of the small town of Macondo told through the lives of the Buendia family. The book is filled with mysterious and magical characters each one more interesting and unique then the other. Marquez paints pictures with words and touches upon the most trivial workings of the human mind and soul. This is probably the most famous of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's writings and reasonably so. All though at times the book can become slightly confusing due to many of the characters sharing the same name, it is well worth the read. If you enjoy life, love, poetic writing, and stories that capture the imagination from beginning to end, I recommend this book.
