Cent ans de solitude, Paperback Book, By: Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The imaginary Macondo is the scene of drastic and mysterious events in the life of the Buendia family over generations. Macondo is home to the descendants of Jose Arcadio Buendia and his wife Ursula, who is more than a hundred years old. Macondo is as typically Caribbean as it is unique; in Macondo the prophecies of Melchiades come true for over a hundred years. Macondo is a place full of fantasy, tropical abundance and strange happenings, here the absurd and the crazy flourish, the comic stands next to grief and misery.
