Quando me dou conta, estou tão mergulhada e tão afeiçoada aos personagens da família Buendía que ao chegar no final é impossível não me emocionar, me senti como se estivesse de luto por alguém muito querido, cujas lembranças dos bons momentos e a constatação da finitude da vida deixa o coração desolado, amargurado e com muita saudade。

Honestly could not finish this book, barely made it a quarter of the way through without losing the will to live。 Why does everyone have the same name? Why do none of the characters have any depth to them? Why does the plot move forward several years with just one sentence? Lots of potential with magical realism, but not in this book。

Um livro que mostra, em toda a sua plenitude, o carácter cíclico da História (com H grande)。 A amnésia coletiva que torna não só possível como previsível que as personagens cometam os mesmos erros geração após geração。 Caem facilmente na armadilha da nostalgia e da solidão, que os impede de seguir em frente e dar um novo rumo à estirpe dos Buendía。Deixar ainda a ressalva de como o massacre das bananas foi tão bem enquadrado no plano do neocolonialismo da América Latina。 É-nos dada a conhecer a v Um livro que mostra, em toda a sua plenitude, o carácter cíclico da História (com H grande)。 A amnésia coletiva que torna não só possível como previsível que as personagens cometam os mesmos erros geração após geração。 Caem facilmente na armadilha da nostalgia e da solidão, que os impede de seguir em frente e dar um novo rumo à estirpe dos Buendía。Deixar ainda a ressalva de como o massacre das bananas foi tão bem enquadrado no plano do neocolonialismo da América Latina。 É-nos dada a conhecer a voz dos colonizados e dos colonizadores de uma forma dura e crua, com algum toque de humor e de realismo mágico que tanto caracteriza o García Márquez。Como uma nota final: tudo bem que o livro tem fama de ter uma árvore genealógica complicada, mas não a procurem na Internet antes de realmente perderem a noção a qual nome corresponde certa personagem, arriscam-se a levar um valente spoil (ou vários) 。。。more

A hundred million years。。。it just goes on and on。 And on。 And on。 The plot is so complicated, there are too many characters; it is just HARD WORK。

One of the best novel that I have been ever read。 Suggested。

One of he best books I have ever read。 The feeling of closeness with the disappointing and sad lives of the Buendia/Iguaran family was palpable。

Magic realism is a term which one might think they understand, but you only get the depth of it's entwinement as a reader when you read this book。 It is a tapestry of people you know, you thought you knew and the ones who you did not, but still knew。 A folded on top of each other universe of stories over generations。 Mystical and beautiful。 Magic realism is a term which one might think they understand, but you only get the depth of it's entwinement as a reader when you read this book。 It is a tapestry of people you know, you thought you knew and the ones who you did not, but still knew。 A folded on top of each other universe of stories over generations。 Mystical and beautiful。 。。。more

In both novels。 And the incest? So much incest in Solitude。 Apparently not a big problem。 If you have an offspring with a pigs tail, it can be removed once the child has his second set of teeth。 He did make me feel for the characters in the end, for Fermina and Florentino, and for the entire Buendia clan and Macondo。 Very different endings, one melancholy, the other weirdly happy。 。。。more

The book used nearly illustrated and magical ways to tell a complex story within a recreational world。 There are many names from different generations that were the same in the book。 With a large number of characters and overlapping storylines, it could be a challenge reading。 But, if you know Mexico's modern history, you can follow the storyline before and after the revolution。 Also, maybe read a couple of times; that would help to understand the story too。 The book used nearly illustrated and magical ways to tell a complex story within a recreational world。 There are many names from different generations that were the same in the book。 With a large number of characters and overlapping storylines, it could be a challenge reading。 But, if you know Mexico's modern history, you can follow the storyline before and after the revolution。 Also, maybe read a couple of times; that would help to understand the story too。 。。。more
