The S—— family was one of the richest in Wallachia, and
consequently one of the most famous. The head of the family
dictated to twelve boyars, collected hearth-money and tithes from
four-and-fifty villages, lived nine months in the year at Stambul,
held the Sultan's bridle when he mounted his steed in time of war,
contributed two thousand lands-knechts to the host of the Pasha of
Macedonia, and had permission to keep on his slippers when he
entered the inner court of the Seraglio. In the year 1600 and
something, George was the name of the first-born of the S—— family,
but with him we shall not have very much concern. We shall do much
better to follow the fortunes of the second born, Michael, whom his
family had sent betimes to Bucharest to be brought up as a priest
in the Seminary there. The youth had, however, a remarkably thick
head, and, so far from making any great progress in the sciences,
was becoming quite an ancient classman, when he suddenly married
the daughter of a sub-deacon, and buried himself in a little
village in Wallachia. There he spent a good many years of his life
with scarce sufficient stipend to clothe him decently, and had he
not tilled his soil with his own hands, he would have been hard put
to it to find maize-cakes enough to live upon.

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.
