Gabriel García Márquez’s works are informed by various literary traditions, particularly magic realism, which seamlessly blends the ordinary with the extraordinary. This style mirrors the complex social and political realities of Latin America. Additionally, influences from European surrealism and the Spanish Golden Age can be seen in his narrative techniques. His critically acclaimed novel, "One Hundred Years of Solitude," exemplifies these traditions, exploring themes of time, memory, and family, all set against the backdrop of Colombian history.
