One Hundred Years of Solitude

Adaptations

While One Hundred Years of Solitude has had a large effect on the literary world and is the author's best-selling and most translated work, there have been no movies produced of it as García Márquez never agreed to sell the rights to produce such a film.

Shuji Terayama's play One Hundred Years of Solitude (百年の孤独, originally performed by the Tenjo Sajiki theater troupe) and his film Farewell to the Ark (さらば箱舟) are loose (and not officially authorized) adaptations of the novel by García Márquez transplanted into the realm of Japanese culture and history.[37]

On March 6, 2019, García Márquez's son Rodrigo García Barcha, announced that Netflix is developing a TV series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude.[38][39][40] In October 2022, Netflix commemorated the fortieth anniversary of the announcement of García Márquez's Nobel Prize in Literature with an exclusive preview of its upcoming adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude.[41] Development was delayed but is ongoing as of March 2024.[42]
