From the wedding of José Arcadio Buendía and Amelia Iguarán to the curse of Aureliano Babilonia, an entire century unfolds. One Hundred Years of Solitude for a unique, fantastical lineage capable of founding a city as extraordinary as Macondo and birthing children with pig tails. Along the way, a long dozen characters leave their mark on future generations, who will have to navigate a world as complex as it is simple.
