My reason for loving One Hundred Years of Solitude...
Hi, I'm a Uruguayan who loves Latin American literature; sadly, my people don't have much of a presence in the global market. So I wanted to talk about what I consider the best Latin American book ever written. Perhaps some of you have already read it, others haven't. If you're in the second group, listen to what I'm about to say.
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez was the winner of the literary novel prize in 1982 and brought (albeit for a time) all eyes to Latin American literature. Follow the story of 7 generations of the Buendía family, from José Arcadio Buendía to Aureliano Babilonia. A family marked by a heavy core and origin, loneliness is the predominant emotion throughout the story. Something that will torment the Buendía family throughout the book, among other problems of the time, such as dictatorships, incest, quarrels, and disease.
If you're interested in Latin culture, or you're an advocate for Latinos and have always wanted to learn more about us, I recommend this book, even though it's set in Colombia and I'm Uruguayan It felt like seeing my own family, something extremely distant but at the same time very close; somehow Gabriel condensed our entire culture And I portray it in a beautiful and bizarre way; anyone who wants to know more about us or about their roots should read this book.
My reason for loving this novel so much is that it represents all Latinos, with its charismatic characters, their sad lives, their joys and sorrows, its relatable dialogues, the magic of the everyday, political problems, family roles, etc... I love it because it feels like something of ours, something that no one can take away from us, something real, not like the bad representations where all we know how to say is "tacos" and "chimichanga" I love him because he gave us relevance in the world, I love him for his magnificent and rich writing, I love him for his characters marked by misfortune, I love him for his very real situations and for much more.
I apologize if my English isn't good; I'm writing this with Google Translate, and I'm sorry if you're put off by how poorly written everything is. If anyone's interested, I have more book recommendations Latinos
