When a stressed-out Wolf tells his four-year-old daughter Nina that
he can only spend ten more minutes reading her bedtime stories
before getting back to work, she wishes that they could have a
million minutes together 'on the really good things. Let's go so
far away, until we have time,' she says. While Nina is physically
disabled, Wolf feels that what really makes her different is her
complete freedom of thought, uninhibited by political correctness
and unlimited by the restrictions of 'reality'.As Wolf comes to
understand the magnitude of his daughter's condition, he starts to
reconsider what is most important in life. Despite a huge
break-through in a profession he has worked so hard to make his
mark on, he decides to step off the career ladder. Colleagues claim
he is ruining his life, but Wolf slowly learns that fulfilling
Nina's wish is worth much more than professional success.Wolf, his
wife Vera, his son Simon and Nina spend a million minutes - two
years - travelling through Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand,
but the real journey is one of personal discovery. Wolf may have
wanted the high-flying, well-paid career before Nina was born, but
what does he want now? And what does it really mean to be rich,
anyway? Nina's unique, frequently humorous world view teaches Wolf
about the deeper meaning of life, and inspires him to question his
values. What starts out as a simple experiment will forever change
Wolf's family: what happens when people take a million minutes for
each other?
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.
