Cien Aos de Soledad (50 Aniversario) / One Hundred Years of Solitude: Illustrated Fiftieth Anniversary Edition of One Hundred Years of Solitude

Una edicin conmemorativa de una novela clave en la historia de la literatura, una obra que todos deberamos tener en nuestras estanteras.

"Muchos aos despus, frente al pelotn de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buenda haba de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llev a conocer el hielo".

Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias ms fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien aos de soledad ledos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se haba abierto paso a "boca a boca" --como gusta decir el escritor-- son la ms palpable demostracin de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buenda-Iguarn, con sus milagros, fantasas, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldas, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.
