Cuanto más continúo leyendo este libro, más que me gusta. No sé cuál fue el propósito verdadero de Gabriel García Márquez en su obra ya que me parece que hay muchos mensajes diferentes que critican o complementan algunos aspectos de la naturale…

Reading this book is my favorite homework assignment right now; it feels indulging to sit down for a couple hours of enjoyable reading. This isn’t to say that it’s an “easy read”, as the characters and the plot of the war are confusing, but nevertheles…

I have found Cien Años de Soledad a bit difficult to read as I have had to go over a few passages on numerous occasions. I remember reading the English version many years ago so I have that to refer to but the read is going a little slower hence the l…

En avansar en la lectura de Cien años de soledad me siento un poco mejor que al principio de la primera sección; probablemente sea por que el árbol genealógico de la familia Buendía se queda más claro en mi mente y los elementos de la trama …

I know that my post is late, but this book is suppppppper hard for me to read and if I actually wanted to understand the first 200 pages, I needed to take my sweet time. Although the book is excellent, it does not take a very straightforward approach t…

I read this book in English back when I had no understanding of the magical realism genre. I thought the book was marvelous, unlike anything I had ever read. Because translations like movies never do the origin novel justice, I am hap…

Un poco largo, un poco bueno..

Whew, back to reading, studying and attempting to pay attention in my classes. I never would have thought that a two week vacation would equate to complete memory loss – alright, maybe the excessive amounts of alcohol consumed played a small part. Anyw…

Cien años de soledad

Cien años de soledad comienza con un tono muy misterioso y tiene un estilo de escritura muy compleja: cómo Márquez describe sus personajes y la ciudad aislada de Macondo. Comienza con un escena, cuando el coronel Aureliano Buendía se acuerda de los…
