Üldiselt jäin raamatuga rahule. Algas paljulubavalt ja selle jooksul oli palju kohti mis mulle meeldisid. Tagant järgi olen väga rahul, et seda lugesin. Aga lugemishetkedel oli kohati igav, ning raamatu lõpu poole sai hoolega jälgitud lehekülje numbreid, et kui palju veel kuni raamat läbi saab.
Lisaks kuna tegemist on väga olulise ladina-ameerika raamatuga, siis peale selle lugemist tunnen, et sain väikese kujutelma maailma osast, millega ma muidu väga kursis pole. Seda sellepärast, et alates raamatu algusest meenutas see mulle Tammsaare "Tõde ja õigus" raamatut. Mitte stiili poolest, vaid just see, kuidas ta andis ülevaate kohalikest inimestest ja nende maailma vaadetest.

Um die Hälfte zu lang.
Die erste Hälfte, einer der wildesten und besten Sachen, die ich je gelesen hab.

I feel any review I could write wouldn't be enough to do this book justice...
It's epic and domestic at the same time, every beginning is an end, it's a cycle of solitary souls coming and going and a testament to how every family member's actions echo in the others' lives past and present. Marquez's way of describing all this is magical and mundane at once.
Just like all the miracolous and tragic events that happen again and again. There are so many genius elements! The Genius loci of a family house that keeps calling back its people and is peacefully haunted by them, political wars and events and that are forgotten because the official history has chosen to obliterate them, the power of nostalgia and what it really is. There is so much to unpack.
Apologies this is a little chaotic, I'm aware.
Note to self: favourite characters were probabily Remedios Buendìa, Colonel Aureliano Buendìa, Ursula and José Arcadio Buendìa.

Que genialidad la forma de contar la historia de una familia incluyéndola dentro de un universo irreal. El realismo mágico en todo su esplendor
