One Hundred Years of Solitude

Fernanda. Solid, monumental
like his grandfathers, but with
a joie de vivre and an
irresistible good humor that
they did not have, Aureliano
Segundo scarcely had time to
look after his animals. All he
had to do was to take Petra
Cores to his breeding grounds
and have her ride across his
land in order to have every
animal marked with his brand
succumb to the irremediable
plague of proliferation.
