"Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice." Thus begins One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel García Márquez’s masterpiece. Now, 57 years after its publication, the platform Netflix is bringing it to the small screen.
Directed by Alex García López and Laura Mora, the action unfolds in 16 chapters following the steps of Aureliano Buendía, his extended family and the microcosm of the now legendary Macondo. This is the first time this work has been adapted into a series format, and it has the support of García Márquez's family.
The preview at the Hay Festival Segovia will include an exhibition of photographs from the serie in the cloister of IE University and a conversation with its two scriptwriters, Natalia Santa and Camila Brugés, together with Lourdes Fernández Bencosme, professor at the IE School of Humanities, moderated by the general director of PRISA audio, María Jesús Espinosa de los Monteros.
