english: The beginning of a new book  had suddenly come to him: “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.” Over the next eighteen months, those words would blossom  into One Hundred Years of Solitude.
non_english: Iznenada mu se javio početak nove knjige: „Mnogo godina kasnije, pred strojem za streljanje, pukovnik Aurelijano Buendija setiće se onog davnog popodneva kada ga je otac poveo da prvi put vidi led.” Tokom narednih 18 meseci, ove reči će da prerastu u „Sto godina samoće”.
