One Hundred Years Of Solitude


Ursula's hundred years and the sprouting up of a civilization from nothing. It flourishes it to its maximum and then perishes after 100 years, leaving behind nothing.

I couldn't concentrate on any other stories after I read this Novel. I think I am still mesmerized my the life portrayed in it. Life of many people interconnected and in the end, all of them leave from the world, leaving no marks behind.

All our lives are like that. We create, build, expand our territories and rule our world but in the end, there would be nothing.. Only an empty space will remain.
