The bestselling Spanish-language novel ever — Marquez sold a million copies in three years and won the Nobel Prize.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez published his magnum opus in 1967, and within three years it had sold a million copies — a phenomenon unheard of for literary fiction in Latin America. The multigenerational saga of the Buendia family in the fictional town of Macondo invented magical realism as a globally recognised mode and won Garcia Marquez the Nobel Prize in 1982. Over 50 million copies have been sold across 46 languages. It remains the bestselling novel ever written in Spanish.
