One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a dazzling & original achievement by the masterful Gabriel García Márquez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise & fall, birth & death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, & alive with unforgettable men & women -- brimming with truth, compassion, & a lyrical magic that strikes the soul -- this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction.

Translated by Gregory Rabassa, winner of the National Book Award for Translation for Julio Cortázar's Hopscotch (Rayuela), 1967

In 1966, Gregory Rabassa won the first National Book Award to recognize the work of a translator, for his English-language edition of Hopscotch. Julio Cortázar was so pleased with Rabassa's translation of Hopscotch that he recommended the translator to Gabriel García Márquez when García Márquez was looking for someone to translate his novel 100 Years of Solitude into English. "Rabassa's 100 Years of Solitude improved the original," said García Márquez.
