خفن ترین کتاب مارکِز!

Gabriel García Márquez was a Colombian novelist,

screenwriter,

short-story writer,

and journalist,

He was known as Gabo or Gabito

throughout Latin America.

His novel One Hundred Years of Solitude

attracted the world’s attention

to the Latin American literature.

One Hundred Years of Solitude

has been translated to 46 living languages

since it was first published in 1967

and sold more than 50 million copies.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is known as a

masterpiece in magic realism genre

this genre is made from fabulous stories

coming from the normal flow of life.

People always admire my ingenuity,

but I think I’m an unavailing realist.

All the things I create

had existed before in the reality.

One Hundred Years of Solitude

is the story of seven generations

of the Buendía Family in the town of Macondo.

A family that its patriarch,

José Buendía was the founder of that town.

Many readers consider the story

to be similar to the genesis journey in The Bible,

because at the beginning of the story

everything is so pristine and unspoiled

that doesn’t even have names,

It’s like Adam in heaven.

Then in the middle of the story

problems like wars unfold.

And then Doomsday…

When Gabriel García Márquez was a child

he lived with his grandparents for 10 years

in a village named Aracata,

so it seems that the village in the story

is the same village,

and the character of the Colonel Buendía

is based on his grandpa’s character

and Úrsula, Buendía’s wife

is based on his grandma’s character.

Well.
