O livro mais importante de Gabriel Garcia Márquez. Neste que é um dos maiores clássicos da literatura, o prestigiado autor narra a incrível e triste história dos Buendía – a estirpe de solitários para a qual não será dada “uma segunda oportunidade sobre a terra” e apresenta o maravilhoso universo da fictícia Macondo, onde se passa o romance. É lá que acompanhamos diversas gerações dessa família, assim como a ascensão e a queda do vilarejo. Para além dos artifícios técnicos e das influências literárias que transbordam do livro, ainda vemos em suas páginas o que por muitos é considerado uma autêntica enciclopédia do imaginário, num estilo que consagrou o colombiano como um dos maiores autores do século XX.<br/><br/>Capa comum: 448 páginas<br/>Editora: Record; Edição: 108 (1 de abril de 1977)<br/>Idioma: Português<br/>ISBN-10: 9788501012074<br/>ISBN-13: 978-8501012074<br/>ASIN: 8501012076<br/>Dimensões do produto: 21 x 13,6 x 2,8 cm<br/>Peso de envio: 481 g
