1.Introduction

One Hundred Y ears of Solitude (1967) is the story of seven g en erations of the Buendía Family in the town of Macondo. The founding patriarch of Macondo, JoséArcadio Buendía, and Úrsula, his wife (and first cousin), leave Riohacha, Colombia, to find a better life and a new home. One night of their emigration journey, whilst camping on a riverbank, JoséArcadio Buendía dreams of “Macondo”, a city of mirrors that r eflected the world in and about it. Upon awakening, he decides to found Macondo at the river side; after days of wandering the jungle, José Arcadio Buendía’s founding of Macondo is utopic.[1] Founding patriarch José Arcadio Buendía believes Macondo to be surrounded by water, and from that island, he invents the world according to his perceptions.[1] Soon after its foundation, Macondo becomes a town frequented by unusual andextraordinary events that involve the generations of the Buendía family, who are unable or unwilling to escape their periodic (mostly) self-inflicted misfortunes. Ultimately, a hurricane destroys Macondo, the city of mirrors; just the cyclical turmoil inherent to Macondo. At the end of the story, a Buendía man deciphers an encrypted cipher that generations of Buendía family men had failed to decipher. The secret message informed the recipient of every fortune and misfortune lived,bythe Buendía Familygenerations.[6] Buendía Family is really a big family. It involves all kinds of people who represent the people of Clombia in the real world. The long developing process of their town Macondo, the metaphoric Colombia is a representation of the history of Colombia at that time when Colombia society has involved in independent wars against the colonial Spanish Empire and has wrestled with the dilemma either progress into the modern industrial world or perish in backwater barbarism in the 18th century and the war against racial discrimination late after. This is the same situation faced by the Buendía Family.Thus one hundred years of solitude of the Buendía Family is one hundred years of solitude of Colombian people. Anyhow, this kind of time will pass and never return as the author said at the end
