It seems they have made a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">must-see<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> series with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One Hundred Years of Solitude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been said a lot that this cinematic venture will modify how we have imagined Macondo and its beings until now. There are those who are nostalgic or fuming for that reason, a priori, and without giving any benefit to the audiovisual that premiered on December 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The book, published in 1967, with translations into more than 40 languages, is one of the most widely disseminated of Latin American literature. The series, by giving a face, voice, accent, physical expression to the characters, will inevitably form certain perimeters to the fantasy of its millions of readers and to that of Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surely, the audiovisual version has had to resort to pruning scenes, ellipses, temporal modifications. Translating to the screen such a long novel, which is like an incessant burst of life, where many things are always happening and in which, at the same time, there is very little dialogue, must have required a very sculpted script to be able to fit one format into another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00c1lex Garc\u00eda, co-director with Laura Mora, has said that the most important thing was to respect the tone of the book and that they believe they have achieved this. When they had doubts, \u201cwe always returned to the book.\u201d It was their Bible, he explained. However, none of us in the audience can expect the novel we carry in our memory to appear on screen, just as we have constructed it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since I knew all this beforehand, ever since Netflix announced that it would be enrolling in this venture, I thought I should read the text again. For the last time, before being \u201ccontaminated,\u201d before \u201cthey spoiled it for me.\u201d So, a few days ago, I began my third reading of the novel, slowly, without rushing. I will postpone as much as possible exposing myself to the television production while Macondo is still standing in my book.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_314385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314385\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314385\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Jaqueline-en-100-anos-fotos-Neteflix1-1-1140x759.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-314385\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Cuban Jacqueline Arenal is Leonor Moscote in \u201cOne Hundred Years of Solitude.\u201d Photo: Netflix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first time I read <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One Hundred Years of Solitude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I was 14 years old and for me, it meant, above all, the possibility of overcoming the length of the thick volume: I was an untrained reader and it was the most important door to adult literature. In that first round I had the yellow-cover edition of Casa de las Am\u00e9ricas at hand (I owe you the year).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember having made collateral notes on some piece of paper about the intricate genealogy of the Buend\u00edas, so as not to get lost in those incestuous twists and turns. I imagine that it has been an inevitable resource for many as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A great deal of the details and interstices of the stories escaped me. I was left with the levitations, the butterflies, the smell of the begonias, Rebeca\u2019s singular appetite for the earth, the thread of Jos\u00e9 Arcadio\u2019s blood reaching \u00darsula Iguar\u00e1n\u2019s kitchen. Kaleidoscopic scenes of colossal imagery. And the ice, of course. Under the hot and humid tent of the gypsies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I grew up with all that. That is to say, I am who I am, also, because in those days when I was beginning to shape my own mental margins and channels, I put those magic Macondo possibilities in my brain, with no other intermediation than that of the printed page and my father\u2019s recommendation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A second reading, at thirty-something, brought back a book in which I was able to discover, in addition, some of the author\u2019s literary tactics. The historical plane, although it again fascinated me, gave way to the discovery of Garcia M\u00e1rquez tricks in this sort of \u201ctotal book,\u201d also a reproductive book, which earned it its brilliant pass to posterity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the first two immersions in the novel, the big house, territory of the lineage, was, in my mind, very similar to the mansion that occupies number 214 Castillo Street between Seraf\u00edn S\u00e1nchez and Calleja, in Mor\u00f3n, where my great-aunts lived until the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It had, just like that one, enormous rooms, an interior patio planted with roses, adjacent to a corridor that formed the backbone of the whole house; a kitchen, the vital center for the family, open to the sun; a last room that led to the dirt patio, where the subsistence pigs were fattened, locked in cages made of planks, and from where the peas that fed the native hens and their dawn roosters could be thrown. Those 1980s prodigal in socialist peas!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wardrobes, beds, and dressers of Ang\u00e9lica and Celia, my aunts, one single and the other widowed, were from another era and without luster. They were the reference with which I furnished Amaranta and Rebeca\u2019s rooms imaginatively. The substitute for the chestnut tree to which Jos\u00e9 Arcadio Buend\u00eda was tied was also there: a skinny lemon tree that, over time, by the way, stopped bearing lemons. Just like the little wild cashew leaves that flooded the fence, they dried up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Macondo was Mor\u00f3n. Perhaps because of its tempo, its simplicity, and essentiality; that of a world that I lived through my grandmothers. Because of the day-to-day conversations; the sacred hearts of Jesus in those sunny and dusty houses of my relatives; the stories of the chatter between the Leyva and the Sarduy; the absolute decision of Irene (Nene), the matriarch, to never speak again; the thinness of Fico (Federico), the patriarch, sitting on a stool, with his legs crossed and his hair very white. He died trembling, with Parkinson\u2019s, helped by his daughters, unwavering caregivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now Netflix will erase with a stroke of the pen that very intimate evocation of mine, building the \u201creal\u201d house, just as it was built by Gabo, Jos\u00e9 Arcadio, and \u00darsula. And a story, landscapes, people in which many of us have been seeing ourselves, with deep nostalgia for decades, will be even more Colombianized: trying to understand ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it will be, without remedy, the only important thing I wanted to say here, after all these paragraphs, is that, whoever can, read. Read this great book, before the glare of the screen sweeps it away and it becomes the most important reference of a work like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One Hundred Years of Solitude<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, embroidered to portray us, admire us, and delight us in that powerful magic that distinguishes and liberates us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By putting a face and voice to the characters, the Netflix series will form certain perimeters to the fantasy of the millions of
