One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez is a transformative journey through the rich tapestry of human experience, exquisitely translated by Gregory Rabassa in Penguin Modern Classics. This seminal work of magical realism intertwines the lives of the Buendía family across seven generations in the mythical town of Macondo.
Experience the masterful storytelling that captures the essence of Colombian life, as Márquez melds fantasy with political reality, delivering an emotional narrative that oscillates between tragedy, joy, and humor. Macondo, a seemingly simple settlement, is alive with wars, wonders, and secrets waiting to be unveiled, making it a microcosm of a complex society.
One Hundred Years of Solitude is not just a book; it's an experience that invites you to reflect on the cyclical nature of time and history. If you found joy in this literary masterpiece, you may also enjoy Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera, available in the same esteemed collection.
Dive into the vivid world of Gabriel García Márquez and discover why this novel remains one of the most daringly original works of the twentieth century.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
