One Hundred Years of Solitude

must have been worth as
much as all the money that
the last inhabitants of
Macondo could have put
together. They survived
miraculously. Although
Amaranta Úrsula did not lose
her good humor or her genius
for erotic mischief, she
acquired the habit of sitting
on the porch after lunch in a
kind of wakeful and
thoughtful siesta. Aureliano
would accompany her.
