What is One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel García Márquez about?

One Hundred Years of Solitude is perhaps Latin America's most famous novel. An overnight sensation when it was first published in 1967, it has been translated into dozens of languages and remains a perennial favorite of readers around the world.
