Sorry Bro, not really. It's not Márquez, But García Márquez the correct way to refer to the author. García is his father's family name, and Márquez is his mother's family name. Down here we all have two lastnames. If you want to simplify, just call him García, that's the father's family name. Great video though, really threw some light upon the title.

Maybe a little overrated,still really good though

I think that the themes of the cyclical nature of life and solitude and prophesy are what makes this book so memorable. Because the story moves foward with a strew of MCs who are a reflection of the main MC Jose Buendia, you get a whole story about a generation and the effects of changing times but similar habits. Each MC struggles within themselves individually and even though they are a family, they don't get involved with each other very much. It challenges the reader to think if their own life actions and choices are a reflection of their parents and if they can break the mold and create their own destiny or accept them and stay stagnant. But even if you know your fate you can't escape the destruction and ruin that a higher power has foretold. I absolutely love this story and I will want my future generations to read this book and understand it too. And if Thug notes is still around in the future, I'll even show them this video.

I absolutely love this guy. Everytime I finish a book I come to hear him talk about it. Really makes the story come alive

I read this book 43 years ago when I was 12, and some of it still sticks with me. For example, when TN said "He viewed childhood as a period of mental deficiency," I remember reading that at that young age and agreeing, thinking that my childhood had been a period of mental deficiency that I was just then emerging from. Funny, the things that stay with you. That book really hooked me in and, with the help of the genealogy at the front, I was able to keep track of all the characters, despite it being seven generations of people who all had variations on a small number of names.

Nice! One of the fact that I feel García Márquez captured perfectly in this book is how it describes Latin America's history up to the date of publication (and arguably, still to the present day): a land full of potential in the middle of nowhere, away from the rest of the world. A continent where its ruling elite, just like the Buendía clan, is completely oblivious to the rest of society since it isolates itself in order to "preserve" the family's fortune and influence. Outsiders and new ideas are welcomed only when they help the Buendías, if they prove to be counter to their self preservation they are quickly exiled with negative consequences for Macondo. Thus the cycle of chaos repeats itself generation after generation, leaving Macondo hopelessly behind in a turmoil of poverty and violence. Please keep up with the excellent work, long time fan here! Thanks!

I loved the book and the poetry it contained, but I felt a richer understanding of it was not possible for me. Then I watched this video. Honestly, it has cleared some things up for me.

One of the best book ever written !

Would love to see Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keys. An amazing book.

this channel is one of the main reasons, i started reading again.

I think my biggest problem concerning this book is that i read it after finishing love in the time of cholera. Both from the same author , but honestly comparing the two is like comparing a cartoon to an oscar winning movie . Like there's no contest . One is written during the author's youth , the other when he is in his full power having matured over the years and became an accomplished writer . Even his signature , magical realism is altered in many ways in the love in the time of cholera to give it a highly sophisticated odour that has matured over the years , like a fine kind of wine that has gained new complexities to take it to another level of richness and taste and make it a much more fulfilling experience.

Best book I've ever read so far. I couldn't believe it when I found out about this vid. Keep up your incredible work.

Love this book, love this review. The editor in me can't help but correct the spelling of the town: It's Macondo, not Macando. Other than that, brilliant!

Thank You so much. Nadie había explicado esta novela la manera que usted lo hizo.

I remember being subbed to the channel with only 6,000 subs. now you're coming up on 300,000. That's crazy! But you guys totally deserve it.

This book sounds really interesting. I don't know why I never read it in high school considering all the other classics we had to. I think I'll pick this up when I have some free time. Thanks Professor. :)

sick episode, I would have loved you going deeper into the events that happened to every generation to remember it but it was an enjoyment video to remember this mess of a book, thank you.

This channel is awesome. hats off to all the creators and actors of the show. its entertaining and educational. all of these books are presented in a way that makes me want to read them. some of them i have already read and i though the videos of them were quite well done. the count of monte cristo is probably my favorite episode. cant wait for more thug notes and 8 bit psychology.

Coincidentally, I just finished this book and hopped on KZread, only to find this vid in my updates. Perfect timing!

You might, very well, just have helped me pass my History Finals!

I think the city is named Macondo not Macando.

Thank you so much for this. It's my birthday and this is my favorite book, keep doing this series bro.

This really makes me want to read the book even more now! Good job on the video!

Watership Down would be a great book for this show.

I am so overjoyed to have found your most excellent channel. Your ability to bring down the knowledge - traditionally reserved for those who spend their lives in ivory towers - down to a street level is pure genius, and furthermore, spot on in its reflections. Please, please, please, consider doing a work by Tolstoy, War and Peace or Anna Karenina, take your pick. I know you would do either one of them supreme justice.

I would love to see an episode on Rabelais' Gargantua or Pantagruel.

Absolutely love this summary.

This is a great channel, and I look forward to new Thug Notes every other Tuesday. I hope you keep this going for years! My suggestion for a future episode would be Cormac McCarthy's, The Road. It's brilliant, bleak, and I think a lot of viewers would benefit from your analysis of its themes.

Ohhh... i get it. It's a town of mirrors because one generation is a reflection of the next of the next. It's hard to catch that since there's so much you already have to focus on while reading the book.

My university class is actually having our last discussion day on One Hundred Years of Solitude this morning, so this was pretty insightful for that! Thanks for doing a video on this book. :-)

There's a little mistake in the name when you do the quotes. The last name is García, not Marquez. Our names in spanish includes the name of the father and also the name of the mother. So, when you read it, you need to read the name of the father first (which is in the middle) and then the name of the mother, or just the name of the mother. So yeah, our last names are not really the "last" names. PD: I'm not a huge fan of Gabo, but i think his last name is "García-Marquez" what makes it a one big last name, but im not sure.

Let's say : the first surname and the second surname. In Spain you choose which parent's surname goes first.

Wait, this sounds a lot like a book I read about a Canadian town that was built up on generational incest, and was eventually broken up by police. However, the only thing I can find about it is a book called On South Mountain, which is the recounting of the real life Goler Clan, "mountainfolk" who were charged by the RCMP for hundreds of counts of incest and sexual abuse of children as young as five, after a 14 year old girl escaped. It doesn't at all sound like the story I read, but the setting and concept definitely fit. What other books are written with this kind of story?

mohamed abdelfatah for me it was a really good experience to read it, first, theres an interesting game with personalities and names. All the José Arcadios are brave and love the bohemian way of life, the Aurelianos in the other hand, are more inteligents and interested in more mithycal stuff (Melquiades manuscrits) also they fight for the liberal cause and war. The only ones who doesn't fit this model are Jose Arcadio Segundo and Aureliano Segundo, the twins who act inverse to theyre names. Its implied that aparently they change theyr names when they were childs. Also it gives an interesting look to the civil wars that happened all through southamerica whit the coronel Aureliano Buendia. I really like the game it makes with the name also. The only couples who loved each other in a romantic way and not in a interest or sex base way are the first couple and the last one. That inplays that all the rest of the Buendia family were alone, the "undred years of solitude". Sorry I can't explain myself better, english is not my first language and also im writting this in my phone.

Gotta hand it to you bro, it was an excellent analysis. This book reflects our solitude, but it is also an opportunity for us to change some aspects of our lives in order to have a more enjoyable ride until the lonely ass road of death comes, and maybe enlight the next generation just a little bit. peace yo!

Loved this book!
