Die Neuübersetzung von Gabriel García Márquez' wichtigstem Roman »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit« - erstmals im Taschenbuch. Gabriel García Márquez' bedeutendster Roman und einer der schönsten der Weltliteratur: Bildhaft und anekdotenreich erzählt der Literaturnobelpreisträger García Márquez die hundertjährige Familiengeschichte der Buendías - eine Geschichte von Siegen und Niederlagen, hochmütigem Stolz und blinder Zerstörungswut, unbändiger Vitalität und ihrem endgültigem Untergang. Die ganze Tragödie Lateinamerikas spiegelt sich in der phantastischen Welt von Macondo. Die Neuübersetzung von Dagmar Ploetz lässt den stilistischen Reichtum des Originals frisch aufleuchten und bietet eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, diesen Klassiker der Weltliteratur neu zu entdecken.
