The Notable Works of Marquez

Gabriel Garcia Marquez has written over twenty five written literatures, including novels, articles and short stories. Most are written in his native language, Spanish, then translated into English. Some of his most famous novels and short stories are, La Hojarasca (Leaf Storm) which was written in 1955, “Death Constant Beyond Love” (1970) which was one of the few literatures that Marquez wrote in English.

Gabriel wrote many famous novels and short stories; however, One Hundred Years of Solitude sounded like an amazing novel to me. Gabriel’s novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude was called “an epic tale of one family's adventures and misadventures covering several generations” by Manalo in a ravish book review. This is one of Gabriel’s most famous novels that he has written over the twenty five years he has been writing. The story goes back into the childhood memory of Col. Aureliano Buendia. He goes back into his childhood and goes on a huge adventure with his friends to a place where "things were so new that some of them had not even been named yet". At the end of the novel, according to Manolo, there is a huge surprise in store. The reader just has to read and find out!
