GARCIA MARQUEZ, Gabriel (b.1927). Cien anos de soledad. Buenos Aires: Editorial Sudamericana, 1967. 8° (198 x 130mm). (Edges yellowed and with small faint dampstain, some corners turned.) Original illustrated wrappers (extremities rubbed, spine with shallow reading creases, corners creased, light soiling, small dampstain on back cover); modern case, probably by Cambras, covered in variously-coloured and textured papers. Provenance: a Madrid bookseller (small stamp on last leaf) -- Joaquin ?Pina (small signature on the half title).
FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, who changed 'Soledad' on the title page to 'felicidad', to a publisher, and signed 'Gabo 05'. García Márquez, after publication, moved to Barcelona where he lived for a few years. Cien anos de soledad is the author's most acclaimed novel and in no small part earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982; his acceptance speech, echoing the work, is entitled 'The Solitude of Latin America'.
