Book Review of the《One Hundred Years of Solitude》
García Márquez makes up a town called Macondo and the protagonists——the Buendía s,lives there for more than one hundred years.During this period,the Buendía s goes from prosperity to decay and everyone dies with solitude.This family includes seven generations and everyone is willing to adventure and full of passion,but they don’t like having a heart-to-heart talk and they release pressure only through sex .It is said that this book shows the sruggle and loneliness of Latin America and the Macondo Town is actually a epitome of Latin America.For a long time,people in Latin America constantly started the civil wars and fought with their compatriots and many of them are fooled by ridiculious religion,so that these areas are still poor and underdeveloped and are like pathetic children abandoned by all other countries.This is a country’s and history’s solitude.So this book gains a lot of admiration and agreement from the people of Latin America.And we appreciate García Márquez for he gives us a way to know these people and strikes a chord with people from other underdeveloped country like us.
When we probe into this book deeper and wonder why everyone lives so lamentably,we can see that it is not just because of the short of supplies or the lack of status and fame.If so,the book would not be praised but on the contrary it would be criticized to be superficial and naïve.In fact, García
Márquez points that the real solitude is from fate and death.It is just like everyone called Aurelian in the Buendía s are always composed and calm but in the end will all become callous and indifferenced to all other things.People who fight with fate and want to live another lives ,but finally fail look like flying leaves in the windy sky,which can’t control where to stop but move froward by the force of wind.Then you will feel nobody really knows you and your life is setted long time ago by the fate and the only thing you can do is to beobedient to it and try to admit that you can’t do anything,even to change a little.Is is real loneliness.When you feel you are separated from the outside world and your world only has youself,even though you are given plenty of money and luxury,you will not be happy and think you are rich.The solitude from the bottom of your heart will last forever and nothing that comes from material world can influence it.
In the meanwhile I read carefully and try to find the solution to this kind of solitude. And the answer that García Márquez gives is hiding among the
sentences.What I can only find is that the Buendía s try to connect with outside world,they try to go through swamp but fail.And then the town doesn’t contact other towns anymore.I think this is the point that to not be lonely,you should learn and know more knowledge and news.Maybe this is a little bit difficult.In short,if you are knowledgeable and have the desire to learn more,you will not only get rid of solitude,but also gain respect and friendship.
If the Buendía s continued to discover outside world,they would not be blind because of ignorant.So do we.
The real solitude is come from being fatuous.When you feel there is no more fun in the world and you can’t control yourself to be crazy to do ridiculous things,your will feel the solitude arising from the bottom of your heart. You are lack of the reverence for the world,so you look down upon everything and do things at your will.But you know,the more you appear to be dissolute,the more lonely you will feel for yourself.
So maybe we should be friend with books and magazines.Try to know more about the things you don’t know but you should know or want to know.Try another way of doing one same thing and compare this two’s advantages and disadvantages.Think more often and find the truth.To be a child to wonder why wind blows,why birds fly and why sun rises.Everyday in your life will be a new and interesting day even if you don’t have any
fere.You will sleep and live with knowledge.In the meantime,when you have a husband or wife,the life can’t be more perfect!And if the nation contacts with others and does not close its windows through which it can see the whole world,it will never feel being lost by the world.On the contrary,it will hold its future tightly.
Do you want to get rid of solitude? García Márquez advises that you should be friend with knowledge.Why not try ?。
