《百年孤独》,是哥伦比亚作家加西亚·马尔克斯创作的长篇小说,是其代表作,也是拉丁美洲魔幻现实主义文学的代表作,被誉为“再现拉丁美洲历史社会图景的鸿篇巨著”。故事讲述马孔多小镇和布恩地亚家族的兴衰变化与传奇故事,记录了家族命运与百年历史,是重复地叙述相同而荒唐的命运,是拉美国家几百年命运的缩影,独具意味地隐喻着人类“文明”史的建立、发展与终结,在荒凉失落与荒唐可笑中诠释宿命式的轮回。家族中人物名字是相同或相近的,预示着他们拥有殊途同归的孤独命运。《百年孤独》以布恩地亚被捆在树上为开端,以他被蚂蚁吃掉为结束,通过细腻丰富的笔触、大胆自由的想象、魔幻的叙事艺术,讲述布恩地亚家族命运与历史,刻画人物孤独的灵魂与自我救赎,进而体现出个人、家族及全人类的悲悯与孤独情怀,让人们重新思考时代发展与人性变化。《百年孤独》被世界文坛誉为魔幻现实主义文学的主峰,已被翻译成30多种文字出版,销量逾1000万册。
