      One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Marquez (Book Analysis) - Bright Summaries

      Colombian writer and journalist

      Born in Aracataca (Colombia) in 1927

      Died in Mexico City in 2014

      Notable works:

      The Leaf Storm (1955), novel

      Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981), novel

      Love in the Time of Cholera (1985)

      Considered by French newspaper Le Monde as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, Gabriel García Márquez brought international renown to Latin American literature and, in particular, authors from the ‘Latin American boom’, such as Jorge Luis Borges (Argentinian, 1899-1986), Julio Córtazar (Argentinian, 1914-1984) and Mario Vargas Llosa (Peruvian, born in 1936).

      Although he was not behind the genre of magic realism, his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of its most notable examples. Themes such as solitude, death, violence and power are omnipresent in the work of this talented writer, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982.
