Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s book One Hundred Years of Solitude, was first published in 1967 and tells the multi-generational story of the Buendia family. The book chronicles the irreconcilable conflict between the desire for solitude and the need for love–in rich, imaginative prose that has come to define magical realism. This book is often cited as “one of the supreme achievements in world literature” and is considered the author’s magnum opus and recognized as “one of the most significant works both in the Hispanic literary tradition and in world literature.”

The Somers Library Classic Book Group discusses classic titles recommended by the group, identified by surveys, and facilitated by Librarian Diana Cunningham. The group meets bimonthly on Monday nights. Meetings are hybrid and open to all interested Somers residents. Copies of the current title to be discussed are available at the Library.

Our programs are supported by the Friends of the Somers Library through our patrons' generous contributions.
