Q&A: What is the most significant thing we can learn from the novel "One hundred years of Solitude"?


Question by Alex: What is the most significant thing we can learn from the novel "One hundred years of Solitude"?
I started reading the novel "One hundred years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I have read about 60 pages so far. It seems like he was very much worried about finding hidden treasures, and headache pills, and technology, that he forgot about the most precious tresure he already had, which was his family, his sons, and his wife.

But again, I haven't finished reading... so what can you tell me about it if you have read it?


Best answer:

Answer by Abel P
I can tell you that you won't appreciate it until you've read the last paragraph. The ending paragraph of this book is the BEST ending of any book ever written. That is why it is one of my favorite books of all time, ranking alongside "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."

Now, since you're only 60 pages into it, I'll tell you that you haven't read about the beautiful retarded girl yet, and the boy who begs to scrub her back and she doesn't realize its a sexual pleasure he'll get from it. Or the boy who wants his aunt to sleep with him.

Try reading more, please. You won't be disappointed.
