About the book

The Buendia family rises and repeats itself across generations in a village where history and miracle move together.

A rich choice for readers asking for magical realism, family history, mythic storytelling and Latin American literature.

The novel gives the catalogue a major answer for expansive, imaginative literary fiction rather than spare realism.

It suits readers seeking generational stories, myth, memory, political change and the feeling of legend.
