Publisher Description

Coming soon to Netflix as a highly anticipated series adaptation starring Claudio Cataño, Jerónimo Barón, and Marco González

One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career.

The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

Reader is so annoying

This is one of the greatest books ever written and the guy reading it is so obnoxious. He sounds like someone exaggerating the inflections of the J Peterman character from Seinfeld but with a British accent. It’s silly at best and grating at worst. And the high wispy voices he does for every female character are cringy. The whole reading is idiotic. I played a few minutes of it for my wife and she started cracking up. She and I have both read the book and love it. Homeboy’s reading of it is a complete joke though. I’d hate to think of someone who’s never read the book listening to this as their introduction to it.
