Which Nobel Prize in Literature laureate wrote One Hundred Years of Solitude?

Gabriel García Márquez wrote One Hundred Years of Solitude and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982.

Published in Spanish in 1967, the novel follows the Buendía family across several generations in the fictional Colombian town of Macondo. It blends political history, family drama, myth, and supernatural events in a style commonly associated with magical realism.

García Márquez received the Nobel Prize for novels and short stories in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination. He was one of the most influential Latin American writers of the twentieth century.

The book’s Spanish title is Cien años de soledad. It is sometimes confused with works by fellow Latin American writers such as Mario Vargas Llosa, who won the literature Nobel in 2010, or Pablo Neruda, who won in 1971.
