First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's printed wraps. Very Good with light lean to binding, and light wear and light soiling to wraps, short crack to front joint at top, small stain to fore edge of first several pages. A nice copy of the true first edition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, in the original Spanish language.

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.
