Nobel Prize-winning Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude is considered one of the leading works of world literature. Gabriel García Márquez presented the town of Aracataca in Southern Colombia, where he spent his childhood, to his readers in a fantastical fiction context by naming it "Macondo" in his novel and explained that his aim was "to leave his childhood days behind with an artistic language." The novel tells the story of the Buendía family living under a 100-year curse due to consanguineous marriage as a result of a spell cast on them. Also One Hundred Years of Solitude is considered one of the most important works of the magical realism movement.
Netflix has adapted Gabriel García Márquez’s masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude into a series. Like the novel on which it is based, One Hundred Years of Solitude is set in the fictional South American town of Macondo and tells the multi-generational story of the Buendia family. One Hundred Years of Solitude is expected to meet its audience in December.
