Translated from the Spanish. This translation originally published: New York: Harper Row, 1970.
Summary:
This novel tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, Jose Arcadio Buendía, founds the town of Macondo, the metaphoric Colombia. The magic realist style and thematic substance of this novel established it as an important, representative novel of the literary Latin American Boom of the 1960s and 1970s that was stylistically influenced by Modernism (European and North American), and the Cuban Vanguardia (Vanguard) literary movement.
