Garcia Márquez was born in Colombia, but he spent most of his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers, he was widely regarded as “a giant of 20th-century literature”. Garcia Márquez wrote in a style called “magical realism(魔幻現(xiàn)實主義)”. In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.

Garcia Márquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude 《(百年孤獨》), which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world –of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years . The story is a metaphor(暗喻) for the development of Colombia since the 19century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said, Garcia Márquez wrote about “the very essence(本質(zhì)) of the Latin American beings ” .
