One Hundred Years of Solitude is a masterpiece by Colombian writer García Márquez. In 1967, as soon as it came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the world literary world and was recognized as the most representative work of magic realism. In 1982, Márquez won the Nobel Prize in Literature for this book.
How did this book become a classic? A big reason for this is that his opening remarks, a short sentence, have established the position of this book in the world literary world!
"Many years later, facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia will recall the distant afternoon when his father took him to see the ice."
In just one sentence, two different time and space are compressed together and hint at the tragic fate of a century-old family. This sentence, like a hook, hooks you to keep looking.
Yu Hua, Su Tong, Ge Fei, Chen Zhongzhong, Han Shaogong, Mo Yan, etc., almost all the writers who rose to prominence in that period more or less admitted to being influenced by Marquez.
