Aratus of Soli was a third century BC didactic poet at the court of
Antigonus Gonatas of Macedonia, where he wrote his famous
astronomical poem ‘Phaenomena’ (Appearances). It describes the
constellations and other celestial phenomena, while the latter
section is chiefly concerned with weather lore. Aratus’ poem was
extremely popular both in the Greek and Roman world, as
demonstrated by the large number of commentaries and Latin
translations. He enjoyed immense prestige among Hellenistic poets,
including Theocritus, Callimachus and Leonidas of Tarentum. This
assessment was passed on to the Latin writers, notably influencing
Ovid, Virgil and Cicero. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides
eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
