One hundred years of loneliness, Analysis
One of the peak works of the famous writer Gabriel García Márquez, something pretentious or even boring may sound, but I assure you that as soon as they begin with this wonderful sample of Latin American fiction they will be totally hooked. And if this is not enough to fall in love with the magic of Macondo and its inhabitants, the pleasant and unpretentious reading in a simple and simple way the writer is wrapping us in a fantasy story without pretense ornaments or far -fled language, thus leaving only the beauty of theirwords and having the history of the characters, without distractions.
The book demonstrates that beyond everything there is a family, which protects you, cures, prevents, show you bad and good things and are with one until the moment they agonize or even death and sometimes beyond this. That beyond that one feels loneliness, the only thing that will never forget is the family and the characters that were part of their lives for better or worse and it is the only thing that can be saved from tragediesof ‘100 years of loneliness’. It also teaches us that we value all the things that for us are passed as unnoticed, when inside they are more valuable than one thinks. To live the life that is too short to save resent. To be able to do everything one wants because later he cannot go back. Moreover, sometimes they are guided by instincts, although "everything is written"! ‘Get cows that life is short” (Aureliano Segundo).
This novel is a very interesting and good novel for the great story that this presents us. In spite of everything we see in the novel a large number of jumps in the time of the story to be able to understand these jumps in time a great interest in reading is needed, being a reader attached to the novel and always maintaining a continuous reading ofthe novel.
I did not like that at the end of the book you conclude that you do what you do your footprint will not remain in the world forever since a family arises and its line is ends years later, but life continues and although some notice the lack, when these are nobody anymore will remember. However, you don’t have to see everything in a negative sense and the book can be interpreted as a call to carpe diem. The end of the book includes part of its charm and I think it is this end that has saved it that I do not like it, since in the final pages all the events that have emerged throughout history are related and you give yourselfCount that the author, although sometimes bores you, knows how to compensate you in the end.
The book becomes a bit confusing in some chapters, it is very explanatory or descriptive about several generations of 1 family, it has several combined legends of adventures of its predecessors. It is a very interesting novel and as the intrigue is read to know that this family will happen, it is recommended to read.
The episode in which Remedios la Bella rises to heaven while bending sheets is true. This is explained because the writer had a sister who went to live with a man without being married and as the family was ashamed to tell the truth, they told the neighbors that "he was folding sheets and flew".
‘They came to suspect that love could be a more rest and deep feeling than the unbridled but momentary happiness of their secret nights’.
‘He felt forgotten, not with the remediable oblivion of the heart, but with another more cruel and irrevocable forgetfulness he knew very well, because it was the oblivion of death’.
‘The secret of good old age is nothing other than an honored pact with loneliness’.
‘They chose not to return to the cinema, considering that they already had enough with their own penalties to cry for fake misadventures of imaginary beings’.
Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez was a Colombian writer, editor and journalist. In 1982 he received the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was known for his nickname Gabo, and familiar and his friends like Gabito.
To really read ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’, a person must be at least twelve, at that age young people already have reading tools that will not frustrate them, but will catch them.
This book really has not been one of those that I liked the most, but it has not disgusted me either. It is true that it was hard for me to read it because it is very dense and you have to pay close attention to not get lost.
I liked the argument but the end nothing at all. I really liked that in this book the author mixes a lot of reality and fantasy with what sometimes I had to reread the same fragment because it was hard for me to understand it and lost myself. I would like to be able to read it again on another occasion that I have more time to dedicate and be able to concentrate on it because I think it is a book that if you read it in depth can reveal very different stories to those that you could have understood at first.
