One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Márquez

Condition: excellent 

MANY YEARS LATER, AS HE FACED THE FIRING

SQUAD, COLONEL AURELIANO BUENDÍA WAS

TO REMEMBER THAT DISTANT AFTERNOON

WHEN HIS FATHER TOOK HIM TO DISCOVER ICE'

Pipes and kettledrums herald the arrival of gypsies

on their anual visit to Macondo, the newly founded village where José Arcadio Buendía and his strong-

willed wife, Ursula, have started their new life. As the mysterious Melquíades excites Aureliano Buendía and

his father with new inventions and tales of adventure,

neither can know the significance of the indecipherable

manuscript that the old gypsy passes into their hands.

Through plagues of insomnia, civil war, hauntings and vendettas, the many tribulations of the Buendía house-

hold push memories of the manuscript aside. Few

remember its existence and only one will discover

the hidden message that it holds

"'It's the most magical book I have ever read. Márquez has influenced the world' CAROLINA HERRERA

"Should be required reading for the entire human race’
