About This Item
New York and Evanston: Harper & Row, 1970. First printing. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. First edition, review copy, of the first US (and first English language) edition of this landmark of magical realism that made Gabriel García Márquez's career and set the stage for his future works, in the second-issue dust jacket. A tale that expertly weaves historical events into a fictional and sometimes strange setting, ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE has been called "the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race" (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW). Originally published in 1967 as CIEN AÑOS DE SOLEDAD, it remains one of the defining books of Latin American magical realism and the work upon which much of Márquez's 1982 Nobel Prize rests. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original green cloth with gilt spine lettering. Original price-clipped color pictorial dust jacket, designed by Guy Flemming, with period at end of first paragraph on front flap. Fore-edge machine deckle. Green endpapers. 422 pages. Promotional photograph of Márquez loosely laid in and noting title is "to be published by Harper & Row on Feb. 25." Faint foxing to edges. Minor sunning to spine. Else a remarkably sharp and bright copy.
