"It's enough for me to be sure that you and I exist at this moment"- One hundred years of solitude.

Amazing art style. Ted-ed always knows how to pick the perfect animator for an interesting and informative explanation.

I vividly remember regretting choosing this book for an essay back when I was 13.
@amanxojha
50% of the time I was confused about the names of the characters in this book. Edit:- I have found the family tree in my book so now it became really really easy to understand and follow whose storyline I m reading during my 2nd time reading this book.

I read this book in English and was speechless by the end. I'm currently learning Spanish and it would be a life goal to read it in its original language

My most powerful experience form reading a book was reading 100 years of solitude while imprisoned in the solitary confinement wing of an Israeli military prison as a conscientious objector. It was really inspiring and gave me strength that I needed at the time.

I'm colombian, and i had to read this book while i was at high school. The book is really powerful, the narrative is perfectly constructed, good characters who follows the entire plot in a non lineal form, is just amazing. For me it was really sad to read, cause it was like i was reading the history of my country. Un pueblo sumergido en tragedias, buscando esperanza.

Oh wow TED, I hope you keep up the “why you should read” series on the regular .... its really inspiring me into these masterpieces. Can’t wait to read this now!

I read this book more than 25 years ago, in my teens and still in High school in a small Indian city. Like all great creations of human mind, this book was easily able to transcend across time, culture and society. It left an indelible mark on me.

This book literally tells the history of whole Latin America. Everyone can feel approached by its narrative, that’s what it makes it so representative and deeply loved by us all. It’s just amazing, such a journey. Thanks Ted-Ed for making a really good work understanding all the spectrum of things and details that the books has.
@peterpremingertrichter6274
For those of us who live in these latitudes (this Macondo), the novel has a special meaning. It portrays how - basically- nothing changes because(as the animator mentions) we all seem to be trapped by history. A history that no one knows and therefore is condemned to repeat. A frustrating experience. In German there is a word for it that is difficult to translate: Leerlauf.
@Nulrom
I red the book some time ago. I probably I will never read it another time cause I don't know if I can bear again the amount of feelings it unleashes into me. That book is just something too powerful.

I have read this book about every 4-5 years since I was 17 years old; I am now 62. My favorite book of all time. Being from the Caribbean I know too well the strife and the magical realism depicted in this jewel of a book. Will continue to read it until I die, there by completing my own story of 100 years of solitude.

Guys, I would pay to see the entire book animated by the person who created these animations, they're stunning! Also, what is the song called? :)
@eavesDropSound
I'm halfway through this book and it's interesting. I must say I feel nostalgia for its beginnings as the times continue to change.
@Cam-jw1nk
this book opened my tiny little high school sophomore brain
@Losdiariosdemel
I am from Colombia, I have read the book at least four times, it's amazing! Highly recommend

" the secret of a good old age is simply an honorable pact with solitude " I cannot recommend it enough.

I'm from Nigeria and I just finished the first part of the show on Netflix. The show is really good and I wish I had read the book earlier. It's so good and I cried at some point lol. Now I'm looking for every material I could find about it... That's how I got here
