“Races condemned to one hundred years of solitude did not have a second opportunity on earth.” –Gabriel García Márquez. Following the signing of the armistice, peace still does not reach Macondo. Fearful of Col. Aureliano Buendía’s threats, the Conservatives plot an assassination attempt that — by a twist of fate — brings Fernanda del Carpio from Bogotá to the town. When she marries Aureliano, one of the bastard Arcadio’s twin sons, she gives Úrsula her first legitimate heirs. Meanwhile, José Arcadio Segundo, the other twin, will accomplish the patriarch’s wild dreams of connecting Macondo to the world. The railroad opens the doors to the banana company, unleashing the town’s downfall and ultimately fulfilling Úrsula’s curse: for lineage condemned to one hundred years of solitude were not granted a second opportunity… First published in 1967, One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the emblematic works of Gabriel García Márquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature.
