One hundred years of solitude

London: Jonathan Cape, 1970.

First Edition in English, first printing, with the excellent and unclipped dust-jacket, slightly rubbed at points of corner and head of the backstrip. Without inscriptions or other interior markings. Spine of jacket entirely unfaded, which is unusual on this title. Translated from the Spanish by Gregory Rabassa. A fine copy. Epic account spreading across many generations of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founded the fictitious town of Macondo. The novel is often cited as one of the supreme achievements in world literature. It was recognised as one of the most important works of the Spanish language during the 4th International Conference of the Spanish Language held in Cartagena de Indias in March 2007.
