Ahora una serie de Netflix “Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo”. Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a “boca a boca” —como gusta decir el escritor— son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Now streaming on Netflix "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. Review: One of the best books I have ever read - I don't think Garcia Marquez needs a review or introduction. To read any of his books is simply a pleasure. Easy, delicious reading where at least once in each paragraph will be a striking sentence. Those sentences have either lovely descriptions of things or people that one wishes one had thought of it before. It seems natural and obvious and perfectly described. To say something like "The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point" requires such imagination and lovely eloquence. The description of ice for example: "When it was opened by the giant, the chest gave off a glacial exhalation. Inside there was only an enormous, transparent block with infinite internal needles in which the light of the sunset was broken up into colored stars". "Arcadio, had seen her many times working in her parents’ small food store but he had never taken a good look at her because she had that rare virtue of never existing completely except at the opportune moment" (I know people like that! ;-) You end the book with a happy exhausted feeling that only great books (or great movies, concerts) can give you (way there with Steinbeck's East of Eden and possibly above Dumas' Three Musketeers). For those who think that the stories are too far fetched, they need to learn a little about Colombian/South American history; the massacre of the bananeras is a real chapter in Colombia's life. Yellow butterflies fill up certain places in the Colombian Caribbean after the rains. Visiting Magdalena province, the little towns and the beaches will prove very pleasurable after reading hundred years of solitude. Or perhaps, visiting the places and then reading the book may even be a greater pleasure. I simply love the book! Review: The best book ever - I don’t know who I have to thanks because this is the best book I have ever read in my life I really love it

Captivating Content, Packaging Falls Short
I recently purchased this book and I must say, the content itself is absolutely fantastic. The author's insights and storytelling are captivating, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the subject matter. However, I was quite disappointed when I received the book. The hardcover came with noticeable damage – the corners were broken and folded. It's clear that the issue is with the packaging, as the book's contents are impeccable. Overall, a fantastic book that deserves all the praise, marred only by the unfortunate packaging issues.

NO ES la primera edición
El libro está hermoso, de alta calidad en la tapa dura y en las hojas, ideal para la colección. Tiene detalles brillantes en la portada y en la parte de atrás, tiene su marcador de página integrado, y las ilustraciones hechas por Luisa Rivera que hacen ver a esta edición tan orgánica y "personal". OJO para coleccionistas: Editorial Diana trabajó en dos libros conmemorativos de Gabriel García Márquez, "Cien años de soledad" y "El amor en los tiempos del cólera", ambas ilustradas por Luisa Rivera; ambas siguen la misma línea de edición, una con tonos verdes y otra con todos rosados. Yo compré "El amor..." y en resumen, es una versión que en la portada tiene integrado el plástico/carton rígido con una columna de tela (sin detalles brillantes). En su momento por supuesto que no dudé en comprar a su compañero "Cien años..." pero lamentablemente estaba agotado y por años no pude encontrarlo más que en su versión en pasta blanda. Menciono esto, porque la versión de "Cien años..." que me llegó ahorita, no sigue la misma línea de edición, es una segunda versión, ya que a diferencia de "El amor...", ésta no tiene la columna de tela, sino que es completamente de un solo acabado. En comparación, tiene una muuuy ligera diferencia de tamaño y las hojas son menos gruesas y para las ilustraciones se usan hojas del mismo gramaje (en "El amor.." son hojas más gruesas, y aún más en las ilustraciones). PERO en lo personal, me gusta más ésta versión que me llegó, ya que es más ligero y la tela en libros puede ser muy frágil, cosa que no sucede con éste. Estéticamente, a primera instancia es difícil diferenciar estos detalles entre ambos libros, pero para coleccionistas es importante notar que existe esta pequeña, diminuta diferencia. En resumen, un excelente libro!

Piel de gallina
Este libro es una maravilla, mi favorito de Gabriel García Márquez. Hay algunos momentos en los que se puede hacer un poco pesado, pero de verdad que merece la pena leerlo. Recomiendo imprimirse para acompañar a la lectura el árbol genealógico de la familia, para no perderte con los nombres de los familiares y ubicar quién es quién. La piel de gallina con el final. 100000/10! ❤️
