Das Jahrhundertbuch in einer meisterhaften Neuubersetzung Mit seinem Roman »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit«, der sich weltweit mehr als 30 Millionen Mal verkaufte, gelang Gabriel Garcia Marquez 1967 der Durchbruch als Schriftsteller. Die Familiensaga um das kolumbianische Dorf Macondo gehort inzwischen zu den modernen Klassikern der Weltliteratur. Zum Jubilaum erscheint der Roman jetzt in einer kongenialen Neuubersetzung von Dagmar Ploetz. »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit« erzahlt die Geschichte vom Aufstieg und Niedergang der Familie Buendia und des von ihr gegrundeten Dorfes Macondo, das zunachst wie das Paradies erscheint. Abgeschnitten vom Rest der Welt durch Sumpfe, Urwald und eine undurchdringliche Sierra, ist es der Ort, an dem sich alle Traume, Alptraume und Entdeckungen des Menschen noch einmal zu wiederholen scheinen. Starker als die bisherige deutsche Fassung arbeitet die Neuubersetzung der vielfach ausgezeichneten Ubersetzerin und Garcia-Marquez-Spezialistin Dagmar Ploetz die unterschiedlichen stilistischen Ebenen des Romans heraus: pathetisch, witzig, lapidar, episch, poetisch. So gelingt ein Blick auf die Welt, der auch den Erfahrungen des 21. Jahrhunderts noch muhelos standhalt. Ein Klassiker, den zu lesen sich lohnt: immer noch und immer wieder.

Die Neuubersetzung von Gabriel Garcia Marquez' wichtigstem Roman »Hundert Jahre Einsamkeit« - erstmals im Taschenbuch. Gabriel Garcia Marquez' bedeutendster Roman und einer der schonsten der Weltliteratur: Bildhaft und anekdotenreich erzahlt der Literaturnobelpreistrager Garcia Marquez die hundertjahrige Familiengeschichte der Buendias - eine Geschichte von Siegen und Niederlagen, hochmutigem Stolz und blinder Zerstorungswut, unbandiger Vitalitat und ihrem endgultigem Untergang. Die ganze Tragodie Lateinamerikas spiegelt sich in der phantastischen Welt von Macondo. Die Neuubersetzung von Dagmar Ploetz lasst den stilistischen Reichtum des Originals aufleuchten und bietet eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, diesen Jahrhundertroman neu zu entdecken. »Ein Klassiker in bestechender Neuubersetzung.« NDR Kultur

'She looked over her shoulder before getting into the car to be sure no one was following her' Pablo Escobar: billionaire drugs baron, ruthless manipulator brutal killer and jefe of the infamous Madellin cartel.

Two died, the rest survived, and from their harrowing stories Marquez retells, with vivid clarity, the terror and uncertainty of those dark an volatile months.
