“Parents are a veil between the child and death”- One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel García Márquez, 1967 Argentina)

The people you are closest to directly affect your outlook on life and death. Death with parents is abstract. When we face death, death is concrete and intuitive.

One Hundred Years of Solitude works on so many levels, from childlike fantasy to exploration of the grief or happiness that solitude can bring which established with the magical realist style and thematic substance as an important representative novel of the literary Latin American and became one of the supreme achievements in literature.
