Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit (Neuübersetzung)

The century book in a masterful new translation. With his novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude," which has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, Gabriel García Márquez achieved breakthrough success as a writer in 1967. The family saga set in the Colombian village of Macondo has since become a modern classic of world literature. For the anniversary, the novel is now being released in a brilliant new translation by Dagmar Ploetz. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" tells the story of the rise and fall of the Buendía family and the village of Macondo they founded, which initially appears like paradise. Cut off from the rest of the world by swamps, jungle, and an impenetrable mountain range, it is the place where all human dreams, nightmares, and discoveries seem to repeat themselves. The new translation works more effectively than the previous German version.
