À propos de cet audio
Includes a bonus PDF with a character chart!
One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career.
The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.
Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Be Ready to Work
How to even begin? Marquez's opus is a loops-within-loops, wheels-within-wheels exploration of humanity, soaked in magic realism and buried by layers of history.
Must one do whatever one can to survive? Is family all? Does history condemn you? Are you your parents? If there _is_ more than survival, how does one reach for more when the surrounding world is so completely broken? How far is too far?
Be warned: you must work for this one. Marquez doesn't give you anything for free.

I like i a lot!
I think the only really bad thing about this book is that you can sometimes tell it was written by the same person to write Love in the Time of Cholera.
All in all, this book is amazing good.

Very sophisticated and titillating
Excellent reading of one hundred years of solitude. The narration seems to drag on a little bit as it is quite a lengthy book, but ultimately a very enjoyable version.

Unexpected plot twists filled with magical realism
Loved the magical realism, it alienated me from the wild thoughts and actions of the characters enough to handle all the incest and bestiality. Yet I felt like there was a deeper meaning that I couldn’t grasp. There must be one, seeing as this book is a staple piece in classic literature with a Nobel Winning author. Perhaps I will revisit this title when I am older and wiser, but for now I quite enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot and the ancient ambience of the story. The plot would be easier to track if he didn’t bestow the same names on all of the characters. The performance of the narrator was great and consistent throughout the book.

Challenging.
I found this a tough listen, and also a tough read. It's very challenging as a story for the story itself, but also the structure, and the characters. This book was recommended to me by a family member who loved it, and has read it several times. I didn't enjoy it at all in either print or audio format.
That said, it is an immensely diligent saga in the literary tradition - this story is not written so much for entertainment as statement of culture, family, roles, history, historical events, politics. It should be consumed slowly like good scotch - and probably with a good scotch. Both take patience.

A wonderful book
A multi generation story that holds your interest throughout. The writing is superb with the right amount of pathos and humour. Some attention required as there are a large number of characters, some with similar names.
The narration by John Lee is spot on.

An Enlightening View of South Amerindian Culture
Garcia weaves a colourful narrative of South Amerindian society at the confluence of the technological, scientific and industrial developments of the last century. The cast of characters will intrigue the reader and will linger long in one’s memory. A great read!!

One of my favourite books
I read this book a few years ago (paperback) and fell in love with the writing.
I suspect that someone listening to it without previously knowing the story would find it difficult to follow, especially because many characters have the same name.
But it is worth it for any one loving literature and classics. It is among my preferred books.
