The Museo de América in Madrid (Avenida de los Reyes Católicos, 6) will be holding a continuous reading of Gabriel García Márquez‘s One Hundred Years of Solitude on Thursday 18 April from 10 a.m. onwards.
With the organisation of this event, the Museo de América joins in the celebration of Book Night 2024. If you would like to take part in this shared reading, please send an email to the following address: difusion.america@cultura.gob.es.
Together, we will enjoy this masterpiece, written by the Nobel Prize for Literature, Gabo, and one of the most translated and read works in the history of universal literature. It is a work with autobiographical touches, whose original idea came to García Márquez in 1952, when he was accompanying his mother to her hometown, Arataca, Colombia.
Although the work was initially rejected by publishers, it was finally published in 1967 and is usually included among the best books of all time. It is also the best expression of magical realism.
