It starts with the hero, if he can be called that, Aureliano Buendía, before the firing squad, though a lot happens before we get back to the firing squad. Firstly, there is no plot and, secondly, like many great novels, what makes this novel is not the plot. It is impossible to summarize the plot of this novel. It is a book that everyone should read – it is available in numerous languages – both as a literary wonder but also to show, for those that do not know, that the boundary between reality and fantasy is thin at best. Not only is this book García Márquez’ masterpiece, there is a very good case for declaring it the masterpiece of twentieth century literature.
