1) Hardcover Book Cien años de soledad: Edición conmemorativa (The 40th Anniversary Edition) by Santillana USA Publishing Co.. The time period from the e-mail notification (when they notify me the item was shipped to me) to when I actually got the item was kind of long, but besides that, very good service.¤

2) Hardcover Book Cien años de soledad: Edición conmemorativa (The 40th Anniversary Edition) by Santillana USA Publishing Co.. Este edición, aparte de ser un buen libro, es otro edición ejemplar de Alfaguara. Sale en pasta dura y tiene un listón en medio del libro para mantener tu página. Además del libro, salen artículos de Carlos Fuentes ("Para darle nombre a América"), Mario Vargas Llosa ("Cien años de Soledad. Realidad total, novela total.") y otros. También incluye un glosario del español de Márquez (para explicar las palabras que no están o no tienen el mismo sentido en otros dialectos del español.) Y en fin, una lista de los personajes, con detalles someras sobre sus papel en la historia, pero no revela detalles.

Si han leído esta historia antes o lo quieren leer por la primera vez, esta es una edición ideal que parece elegante en sus estantes después de haberlo leído.¤

3) Hardcover Book Cien años de soledad: Edición conmemorativa (The 40th Anniversary Edition) by Santillana USA Publishing Co.. In this, his magnum opus detailing the historical arc of the Buendia family in the fictional near-Caribbean town of Macondo, Marquez is stupefyingly inventive and constantly violates the basic storytelling principle of "show, don´t tell." That´s a good thing, because if he didn´t a book where so much happens would be three thousand pages long, in which case I wouldn´t have the stamina to read it in the original. Reading alternately in Spanish and English, I found that, in addition to increasing my vocabulary of fancypants literary Spanish by scads of rarely useful words that I´ve mostly forgotten since, I kept thinking, "Well I thought I was following what was going on pretty well, but what I think just happened is too weird to make sense, so I must be wrong." But then I´d read the English version to find out that yes, everyone in town *had* fallen ill with a variety of insomnia causing progressive amnesia, or that an orphan girl *had* shown up at the house with a bag bearing the incessant jumping and clicking bones of her parents, or whatever. That´s magical realism for you.

I wasn´t very good with literary Spanish when I started, but Marquez consistently rewarded my slow, dogged efforts to understand what was going on by putting something funny or amazing in almost every paragraph. At first I found it infuriating that he decided to only use two first names for all the generations of male members of the Buendia family, but I gradually got used to it. The only thing that bothered me a bit in the end was that he spent so much time on the clan´s long, circling decline into the dust, and I didn´t enjoy inhabiting their lingering, interminable decrepitude quite so much as some others apparently have.¤
