The funny thing is, I don’t remember the book like this in any other
Chronology
In the eternal city of Macondo, seven generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion, and the inevitability of their past and their destiny. This is Netflix’s most expensive project made in Latin America to date, with Colombian groups and indigenous communities constructing the props and sets for the series. Sure, it was creepy, but on the other hand, the author is very poetic in bringing out old curses and the like..
or tragic love, human nature
It all comes from a master of the genre. I was swept away by almost everything, not in the first episode, then I was intrigued and I hope you let the alchemy/magic happen, like I did. Let a beggar’s cloak wrap you in its fantastic story.
Like some "Game of Thrones" fever
It all comes back to history and memory and how unreliable and tangled they are and what we make of them. I felt like reading the novel again, right now! The difference is that I can’t read the original, only a translation.
Sad, but beautiful
This is not Dickens and A Christmas Carol for children, but a fairy tale for adults. And very welcome to our troubled political times.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
