The seventeenth century painter Nicolas Poussin founded the French
Classical tradition, working the majority of his career in Rome. He
specialised in history paintings, depicting scenes from the Bible,
ancient history, and mythology, which are notable for their
narrative clarity and dramatic force. Poussin was a man of
contrasts; sensual, yet austere and intellectual, prizing reason,
order and dispassion above all else. His art is a reconciliation
and synthesis of these traits, setting an example of what would
become the standard for a long tradition of academic art,
continuing until the end of the nineteenth century. His influence
was far-reaching, winning the approval of the Neoclassical masters,
the Post-Impressionists and even modernists like Pablo Picasso.

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.
