Crown of the Gods

At the moment when Melquíades' parchment revealed the fate of the Buendía family in the hurricane, García Márquez used his magnificent text universe to reveal to us a cruel truth: all splendor will eventually return to dust, and loneliness is the eternal background of life. "One Hundred Years of Solitude", published in 1967, reconstructs the historical memory of Latin America with its magical narrative method. In the narrative maze of fiction and reality, every reader can find the reflection of his or her own soul.
