One Hundred Years of Solitude is a landmark 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founded the town of Macondo, a fictitious town in the country of Colombia. The magical realist style and thematic substance of One Hundred Years of Solitude established it as an important representative novel of the literary Latin American Boom of the 1960s and 1970s, and it is considered Márquez's magnum opus.

The true first edition was published by Editorial Sudamericana in 1967, in Spanish. It can be identified by the green and black cover with golden lettering and a stylized rooster. The presence of text 'Primera edición' and the lack of further impression or edition statements also indicate a first edition. The UK first edition was in 1970.
