and mesmerizing story about kindness, community and the wonder of

independence from her cat. Against the urban backdrop of humming

of the everyday.Populated by both the friendly and the feral, it
reveals - with heartstopping clarity and warmth - how even in our
darkest moments, community and connection may lead us to a happier
place. MAKOTO SHINKAI is the hugely popular anime filmmaker of YOUR
NAME. His debut novel SHE AND HER CAT is inspired by his highly
praised five-minute anime and will be published in fourteen

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.
