One Hundred Years of Solitude is a timeless masterpiece by the illustrious author Gabriel García Márquez, available from Penguin Modern Classics. This novel is not merely a book; it is an extraordinary journey through the enchanting world of magical realism that captures the essence of human experience.
Set in the mythical town of Macondo, the story follows the Buendía family over seven generations, weaving a rich narrative that artfully blends the extraordinary with the mundane. As the village transforms into a vibrant tapestry of life, readers are invited to immerse themselves in the heart-wrenching, jubilant, and absurd moments that define existence.
Critics have hailed this book as an audacious literary innovation, with The New York Times celebrating its profound insights into the human condition. Central to the tale is a mysterious tome, whose secrets can only be unveiled by Aureliano Buendía, illuminating the town's enigmatic destiny.
If you are entranced by One Hundred Years of Solitude, do not miss the opportunity to explore García Márquez’s acclaimed work, Love in the Time of Cholera, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

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.’
