5.0 out of 5 stars Sowa's review of the best novel of the past 50 years, 5 Feb 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: One Hundred Years of Solitude (Hardcover)
If readers want to read one novel that is the likely choice as Novel of the 20th Century (ludicrous thought as that seems), I strongly recommend ``One Hundred Years of Solitude'' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Great fiction removes our usual methods of perceiving the world, bringing us a revised code of insight, understanding and comprehension. This novel has that transformative quality. The English translation from the original Spanish by Gregory Rabassa is also, in its own right, a classic of its kind. What readers want _ human insight, distilled reflection on the patterns of history, careful language _ are delivered in a magical, powerful way in this book. I have to add, personally, that this novel can be offputting at first. It took me 70 pages before the hook in my brain was completely set. From that point on, I was addicted to Marquez's prose. I'm about to read the book for the third time this spring.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't imagine how any book could be better, 3 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: One Hundred Years of Solitude (Hardcover)
This book encompasses almost every theme of every book that I have ever read, and is amazingly original too. It feels almost as if you're witnessing someone else's dream, and Gabo somehow suspends your disbelief to such a degree that I, for one, accepted unquestioningly the parade of incredible events described- it is very hallucinatory. A reductive view could see the book as a lefty history of Latin America, and by extension, humanity, but it is so much more than that. My first copy of this book fell apart through excessive use. I think that says it all really...

5.0 out of 5 stars The book of estrangement, 28 Feb 2000
By sakien@kivo.com (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Hundred Years of Solitude (Hardcover)
The book is a fine example of Latin American literature, which differs so significantly from the European postulates. "Fantastic novel", following the definition by K. Muller, "One hundred years of solitude" opens a door into the world of fantasmogorical life, where all the European values loose their significance.
