Book Review of the《One Hundred Years of Solitude》

This month,I have been reading a famous book which is written by 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.

　　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 ,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.

　　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 weappreciate 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 author gives is hiding among the sentences.What I can only find is that the Buendías try to connect with outside world,they try to go through swamp but fail.And then the town doesn’t contact other towns anymore.I think this is the point that to not be lonely,you should learn and know more knowledge and news.Maybe this is a little bit difficult.In short,if you are knowledgeable and have the desire to learn more,you will not only get rid of solitude,but also gain respect and friendship.

　　If the author as continued to discover outside world,they would not be blind because of ignorant.So do we.

　　The real solitude is come from being fatuous.When you feel there is no more fun in the world and you can’t control yourself to be crazy to do ridiculous things,your will feel the solitude arising from the bottom of your heart. You are lack of the reverence for the world,so you look down upon everything and do things at your will.But you know,the more you appear to be dissolute,the more lonely you will feel for yourself.

　　So maybe we should be friend with books and magazines.Try to know more about the things you don’t know but you should know or want to know.Try another way of doing one same thing and compare this two’s advantages and disadvantages.Think more often and find the truth.To be a child to wonder why wind blows,why birds fly and why sun rises.Everyday in your life will be a new and interesting day even if you don’t have any fere.You will sleep and live with knowledge.In the meantime,when you have a husband or wife,the life can’t be more perfect!And if the nation contacts with others and does not close its windows through which it can see the whole world,it will never feel being lost by the world.On the contrary,it will hold its future tightly.

　　

第二篇：百年孤独读书笔记

《百年孤独》读后感

“若干年以后，面对行刑队，奥雷良诺?布恩地亚上校将会想起，他父亲带他去见识冰块的那个遥远的下午。”这就是《百年孤独》的开开始。布恩地亚上校的记忆犹如一滴墨水坠落在宣纸上，无法停止地渲染开来。

被誉为“再现拉丁美洲历史社会图景的鸿篇巨作”的《百年孤独》 ，是诺贝尔文学奖得主加西 亚·马尔克斯的代表作，也是拉丁美洲魔幻现实主义文学作品的代表作。全书近 30 万字，内容庞杂，人物众多，情节曲折离奇，再加上神话故事、宗教典故、 民间传说以及作家独创的从未来的角度来回忆过去的新颖倒叙手法等等，令人眼花缭乱。

这本书如一部情节丰富的厚重家谱，记载了布恩地亚家族七代人百年的坎坷历程。孤独的宿命围绕着这 样一个家族，一代代相同的名字，似乎也预示着他们相同的命运。布恩地亚家族 七代人每个人的精神历程都是一个圆。小说的架构也是一个往复循环的结构，不管是情节或者是时间，甚至是人物的名字。马尔克斯将布恩地亚家族和读者拖入一个循环的时空中，让布恩地亚家族去经历循环的命运，让读者去感受布恩地亚家族的荣辱兴衰。他们从小就孤独、冷漠，这似乎是这个家族每代人共同的特点，诚如小说中写道： “布恩地亚家族每个人脸上都带着一种一望可知的特有的孤独神情。长大后，他们都试图以各自的方式突破孤独的怪圈，但激烈的行动总是归于挫败的沮丧。他们又以不同的方式，一个个陷入更深沉的孤独之中。对他们来说，孤独仿佛一种神秘的命运，难以抗拒。 ”终点最终回到起点，让人感觉到巨大的苍凉与悲哀。 马尔克斯在谈及作品中人物孤独性时，他说过： “孤独的反义词是团结。”这是以这个家族的命运，来反映整个拉丁美洲的命运，他希望整个民族能够在经历拉丁美洲革命风暴的洗礼，摆脱以西葡为代表的欧美列强，走上独立自由道路后，能够紧密的团结在一起。

然而由于先天缺陷，缺乏大一统的市场及环境，拉丁美洲的革命先烈终未遂愿，革命之父圣马丁想要建立大哥伦比亚共和国的夙愿如书中的奥雷良诺?布恩地亚上校一样归于沉寂，最后流落异乡郁郁死去。布恩地亚家族都不懂爱情，不通人道，这就是他们孤独和受挫的原因。他们的孤独并不是因为不能与人分享快乐， 而是由于感情的匮乏所造成的日常生活中的心与心的离异与隔膜，这样的孤独可以使一个昔日曾经繁华的小镇最终消失。在此，马尔克斯告诉人们，孤独的实质是一种毫无意义的生存哲学，它意味着以冷漠、消极的态度去对待生活。而实际上，你以怎样的态度去对待生活，生活同样会以怎样的态度来对待你。一个陷入孤独的民族是没有前途的，只能与贫穷、落后和愚昧为伍。如今的我们生活在一个快节奏的社会，经济的发展坐上了高速奔驰的列车，而每个人都陷入了焦虑与抵斥，固守着自己的一份孤独，这样的孤独会使人走向冷漠，最终如马贡多城一样灰飞烟灭， 消失于无形。

小说的结局布恩地亚家族连同小镇马贡多消失在一阵飓风中。马尔克斯在《百年孤独》的结尾写道：“就在奥雷良诺?布恩地亚译完羊皮纸手稿的最后瞬间，马贡多这个镜子似的（或者蜃景似的）城镇，将被飓风从地面一扫而光。将从人们的记忆中彻底抹掉，羊皮纸手稿所记载的一切将永远不会重现，遭受百年孤独的家族，注定不会在大地上第二次出现了。”这无疑暗示着拉美人民如果不思变革，最后只能面临被历史淘汰的命运。作者对于落后和愚昧的态度是彻底否定的，于是安排了一场飓风对旧事物来了一次彻底的清理。“百年孤独”，既是说拉美落后的时间之长，又从一个侧面反映出作者的心态：对进步和先进的漫长等待。百年孤独，百年的等待。至于这以后，落后和贫穷还会不会出现，没有明确答案，但是马尔克斯的愿望是美好的，正如所有读者所期待的那样：“遭受百年孤独的家族，注定不会在大地上第二次出现了。”
