It´s the best work of García Márquez. A novel that narrates the vicisitudes of Aureliano Buendía in the mythic Macondo, a town in some unknown region of Colombia. This novel was written in the magic realism ("realismo mágico") by García Márquez, a style that mix together amazing elements taken by fiction and realkity.
The old man waited. Rain. Years. The colonel waited. Rain. No bananas. The women wept. The ghost. The beauty. The solitude. Love and death. All mixed up. Like the river. Muddy.
That's it.
A poetic, musical masterpiece of a book. A slip-road of wonder and engrossment that manages to be poignant, funny and lyrical simultaneously. Must-read.
