Story
From the Nobel Prize-winning author of One Hundred Years of Solitude comes a masterly evocation of an unrequited passion so strong that it binds two people's lives together for more than half a century. In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career, he whiles away the years in 622 affairs - yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral....

Story
In this incandescent novel, V.S. Naipaul takes us deeply into the life of one man, an Indian who, uprooted by the bloody tides of Third World history, has come to live in an isolated town at the bend of a great river in a newly independent African nation. Naipaul gives us the most convincing and disturbing vision yet of what happens in a place caught between the dangerously alluring modern world and its own tenacious past and traditions.

Story
Joyce’s experimental masterpiece set a new standard for modernist fiction, pushing the English language past all previous thresholds in its quest to capture a day in the life of an Everyman in turn-of-the-century Dublin. Obliquely borrowing characters and situations from Homer’s Odyssey, Joyce takes us on an internal odyssey along the current of thoughts, impressions, and experiences that make up the adventure of living an average day.

The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself ‘Don Quixote’ and with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests.

Publisher's Summary
Includes a bonus PDF with a character chart!
One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career.
The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.
Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

Just pick it up and read it.
This book was on my watchlist for over a decade. Glad I picked it up! It was a euphoria filled with goosebumps going through the ending! Spoilers!
It narrates a tale a of town somewhere in Colombia inhabited by 7 generations of a family with solitary and tenacious personalities who endure misfortunes bought up by themselves.
There were several similarities to tales narrated in the Bible, idealogical wars, communism, incest horrors and prophecies. The tale begins really slow describing the day to day life and skipping years slowly giving the reader to associate the present with the past.
The ending of this narration makes into the top 5 reads ever.

A Really Short Review
A Ted Ed directed me here one day to a novel with seven generations.
The novel's adundant characters remind me of Mahabharat, funnily enough the tragedies and wrong decisions made by the members seem so too.
I didn't actually read the book, i was enjoying the amazing audiobook by Audible. I had audible for 2 months and this was my first purchase there.
(SPOILERS MIGHT BE THERE)
Coming to the book, beginning with the passion what i enjoyed were
:Between MEME and MAURICIO,
:Amaranta Ursula and Aureliano
:Rebacca and Arcadio
I really enjoyed the end and how the palms turned out.
The characters i enjoyed:
• Rebecca
• Remedios
• Remedios the Beauty
I enjoyed the audiobook in breaks in the tormenting times of COVID for over a month.
The book was read by John Lee and sounded so good, specially the acting out of the ladies and old people.
I found the intricacy of normal life being woven into the towel of time, magnificent.
I will highly recommend this book to all people who are into complicated stuffs about life.
I probably will read 'Love in times of cholera' because i completely enjoyed the way the story unfolded.
Learnt about:
•Magical realism
•How time can be denoted differently, in a cycle... '''circle of life''' plays in background
•How many characters can be fun? I remember not being able to read Enid Blyton's famous five because of too many names as a teen (laughs at my foolishness)
TIP: Keep looking at the family tree of the Buendía family. You may be needing it because names keep on repeating.
Videos i recommend watching before reading it:
