《百年孤独》英语读后感 Book Review of the《One Hundred Years of Solitude》
For this month,I have been reading a famous book which is written
by García Márquez,a famed Colombian writer who won the Nobel Prize
in literature in 1982 because of his great and positive influence on the
Latin American literature circle.This book is called 《One Hundred Years
of Solitude》which is in the style of magic realism,a writing skill
combines the reality and fantasy.This book is so precious and worth-reading that people put it at the same position as the 《Don Quixote de
la Mancha》(堂吉柯德)and regard the two as the best Spanish books
in the whole history.
In order to know what the book tells and expresses roudly,I firstly
read the Chinese version and then to the English version.I feel myself
sagacious for I have done this.And before I come to write some of my
thoughts,I have to say that this book is so complex that almost
everyone called the same names and you can’t predict accurately
anyone’s future because he might dies or be insane,or even has a sex
with his aunt or his bigger brother’s mistress and then have a baby
who will also be called the same name as the baby‘s father all of a
sudden.But as you go on reading,because of the fancinating
expression,compact structure and fancy writing skill,you will be addicted to imgining all the characters in your mind and chat with them
and then gradually touch the deepest and softest part of their hearts to
feel their eternal solitude.Surely you will feel sory to all of them and
understand their crazy actions are all forced by the fearful solitude.
García Márquez makes up a town called Macondo and the
protagonists——the Buendías,lives there for more than one hundred
years.During this period,the Buendías goes from prosperity to decay
and everyone dies with solitude.This family includes seven generations
and everyone is willing to adventure and full of passion,but they don’t
like having a heart-to-heart talk and they release pressure only through
sex .It is said that this book shows the sruggle and loneliness of Latin
America and the Macondo Town is actually a epitome of Latin
America.For a long time,people in Latin America constantly started the
civil wars and fought with their compatriots and many of them are
fooled by ridiculious religion,so that these areas are still poor and
underdeveloped and are like pathetic children abandoned by all other
countries.This is a country’s and history’s solitude.So this book gains
a lot of admiration and agreement from the people of Latin
America.And we appreciate García Márquez for he gives us a way to know these people and strikes a chord with people from other
underdeveloped country like us.
But actually for me,I can’t force myself to believe this book is a
review or reminiscences of the 100-year history of Latin America.I
prefer to regard it as an instructive and meaningful book which gives
us guidance and warning to avoid being lonely and isolated.
When we probe into this book deeper and wonder why everyone
lives so lamentably,we can see that it is not just because of the short of
supplies or the lack of status and fame.If so,the book would not be
praised but on the contrary it would be criticized to be superficial and
naïve.In fact, García Márquez points that the real solitude is from fate
and death.It is just like everyone called Aurelian in the Buendías are
always composed and calm but in the end will all become callous and
indifferenced to all other things.People who fight with fate and want to
live another lives ,but finally fail look like flying leaves in the windy
sky,which can’t control where to stop but move froward by the force
of wind.Then you will feel nobody really knows you and your life is
setted long time ago by the fate and the only thing you can do is to
beobedient to it and try to admit that you can’t do anything,even to change a little.Is is real loneliness.When you feel you are separated from
the outside world and your world only has youself,even though you are
given plenty of money and luxury,you will not be happy and think you
are rich.The solitude from the bottom of your heart will last forever and
nothing that comes from material world can influence it.
I have seen many good-educated men work as civil servants,at first
they have a lot of goals and they are full of energy to finish their tasks
and try to achieve their dreams.But when they realise that the society
has its rules and it is just like a game,in which you might win if you stay
for a long time in a field to be a qualificated old man.They can’t accept
the fact that your future is not gained by the struggle and hard work
but your ages and the mood of your superior.When people can’t see
their future,it is just like the fate fools them,and they might be
depressed and indulge themselves.When people don’t know the way
of their life,they will be surrounded bt the solitude.I think it is why many
civil servants think they live meaningless and want to quit.
In the meanwhile I read carefully and try to find the solution to this
kind of solitude. And the answer that García Márquez gives is hiding
among the sentences.What I can only find is that the Buendías try to
