+'''Description of Artwork:''' ''One Hundred Years of Solitude'' (Spanish: ''Cien años de soledad'') is a novel which tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founds the town of Macondo, the metaphoric Colombia. The non-linear story is narrated via different time frames, a technique derived from the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges (as in ''The Garden of Forking Paths'').
