Livre utile dans la compréhension d’un certain pays à une certaine époque, mais difficile à apprécier à l’époque actuelle.

I don’t quite know how to review this novel. It’s a sweeping tale that follows several characters across multiple generations. Each generation of individuals having to deal with the aftermath of the forefathers’ actions and inaction. I really enjoyed the is though I could have done without some aspects of story which I won’t mention here for fear of spoilers but would encourage folks to take a look at the content warnings.

"Cien años de soledad" es uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura hispanoamericana y esa esa la razón por la que lo empecé a leer. García Márquez tiene una mente privilegiada y un estilo de escritura que hace que sea fácil avanzar en este libro, sin que ello implique que no pueda ser el punto de partida de reflexiones sobre la vida importantes. Ahora bien, mi puntuación se debe a que el libro se me ha hecho ligeramente pesado y me ha costado acabarlo por una característica intrínseca de este: la circularidad. Si eres unx lectorx que necesita que la historia avance hacia algún objetivo, seguramente no disfrutes de este libro. Esto no quiere decir, claro está, que el libro no sea bueno. Pero no es una lectura fácil en ese sentido.
