Gabriel García Márquez wrote novels and stories in which family history, politics and everyday life frequently coexist with events that would be impossible in conventional realism. One Hundred Years of Solitude follows several generations of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo, where civil wars, inventions, ghosts and repeated names form part of a long cycle of family history. Love in the Time of Cholera traces the decades-long connection between Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza, while Chronicle of a Death Foretold reconstructs a killing that almost everyone in a small community knows is going to happen. García Márquez's writing is expansive, ironic and rich in recurring images, with extraordinary events narrated in an ordinary tone. His work is closely associated with magical realism, Latin American fiction and family saga, alongside writers such as Isabel Allende and Juan Rulfo. Read more Less
