Voted by the editors of The New York Times Book Review as not only “the best book published in the last ten years”, but one likely to “still be read and of importance in another hundred years”. For his magnum opus García Márquez was awarded the Nobel Prize, among countless other literary awards. “The rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical but intensely real Macondo, and the glories and disasters of the wonderful Buendía family; make up an intensely brilliant chronicle of humankind's comedies and tragedies. All the many varieties of life are captured here: inventively, amusingly, magnetically, sadly, humorously, luminously, truthfully.” Seller’s Note: Dust jacket is covered in protective mylar, a few small chips and some bumping to edges. Book is square and tight and very clean. A beautiful rarity for anyone’s collection.
