Gabriel Garcia Marquez died. His epic 1967 novel One Hundred Years of Solitude sold more than 50 million copies in 25+ languages. He wrote in magical realism, blending reality with fantasy, such as a boy born with a pigs tail and a man trailed by a cloud of yellow butterflies. The first sentence of One Hundred Years of Solitude has become one of the most famous opening lines of all time: Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.
