“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.
“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”
So begins one of the most important novels of the twentieth century and one of the most fascinating literary adventures of all time. Millions of copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude have been read in every language and the Nobel Prize for Literature awarded for a book that became famous by word of mouth, as its author liked to note. The epic story of the Buendía-Iguarán family, with its miracles, fantasies, obsessions, tragedies, incest, adulteries, rebellions, discoveries and condemnations, channels myths and history, tragedies and loves that resonate with readers around the world.
