The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family.

In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.
