You gon make a brother start reading books
god forbid
Perish the thought
Did you start reading?
We would never now if he strat reading
hahahaha u r killin brothers bro
this book was like a weird fever dream, but i couldn't stop reading it and didn't want it to end lol
Exactly how I felt
This book really shocked me. Ten years later I still get the chills when I remember it's last sentence.
MrsCthulhuLove what was the sentence?
What was the last sentence?..
Read the fucking book you lazy fucks
@@yassi8814 "Porque las estirpes condenadas a cien años de soledad no tienen una segunda oportunidad en esta tierra"
MrsCthulhuLove ten years?? Beginner. I read this book in 1999. And I still remember the child and the ants.
This book hits hard, most of all, after everything that happened in that town, no one remembered who the Coronel was, no one knew if the massacre was real and even Ursula's endless care for her family amounted to nothing. This family was doomed to repeat the same mistakes
Just like actual Colombia
@@yuca5725sadly
For the ones who don't know it, Cien Años de Soledad is an analogy of the lower-class Colombian society during its most violent age.
important fact omitted from the video, among a lot of other important stuff
I met Marquez back in 97. He told me he hated how everyone tries to interpret this novel. He considered Love in the Time of Cholera his favorite novel, and said most things in this novel are personal references to his friends and family.
I think is about the latin-american upper class
@@tomlander4661 he said in several interviews that his favorite book of his was El coronel no tiene quien le escriba, because how he wrote it and because it was based on his grandfather
felipe daiber it’s not
Macondo.. say it MACONDO!!!
Description. if you weren't just telling it to people who dont read the description.
Si
The banana plantation was real. That really happened over here and is not shown in history books and stuff.
Yes, along with the attack to our manifestation, I remember that...
Wow...
Yeah, I remember learning about that from Harry Belefonte
Si eso lo enseñan en primaria, oigan al otro inventando chimbadas pa los gringos
@@danielalzate7456 No se lo enseñan a los propios gringos, mano, los gringos suelen ser medio pendejos a veces pero en este caso no es culpa suya, como la United Fruit Company era una empresa gringa, esconden ese pedazo de historia de los propios gringos para hacerles seguir creyendo que su tierra es la mejor xd
I think that the themes of the cyclical nature of life and solitude and prophesy are what makes this book so memorable. Because the story moves foward with a strew of MCs who are a reflection of the main MC Jose Buendia, you get a whole story about a generation and the effects of changing times but similar habits. Each MC struggles within themselves individually and even though they are a family, they don't get involved with each other very much. It challenges the reader to think if their own life actions and choices are a reflection of their parents and if they can break the mold and create their own destiny or accept them and stay stagnant. But even if you know your fate you can't escape the destruction and ruin that a higher power has foretold.
I absolutely love this story and I will want my future generations to read this book and understand it too. And if Thug notes is still around in the future, I'll even show them this video.
Sounds like a great book. Nicely done on the all the Spanish names.
Thanks!
It really is a great book. But I got mind fucked a couple of times because all the shit that happens at once all the time. And yeah, the names constantly repeat so you need to remember each character from the generations to enjoy the book.
I havent tried to remember who was who as the writer put in a few hints to remind me who she or he was.I love the fact that when i read it past always seemed brighter than the present,like he made memories of better times,even tho they were hard times.
Sorry Bro, not really. It's not Márquez, But García Márquez the correct way to refer to the author. García is his father's family name, and Márquez is his mother's family name. Down here we all have two lastnames. If you want to simplify, just call him García, that's the father's family name.
Great video though, really threw some light upon the title.
Maybe a little overrated,still really good though
I absolutely love this guy. Everytime I finish a book I come to hear him talk about it. Really makes the story come alive
I second "I have no mouth and I must scream" to be put on the list!!
Oh my God, /please/ let this comment be seen. I know that the text is short, but I would /love/ to see an analysis of that!
That would be great.
It's a 2-4 page short story. There's not much to talk about there.
So short, but necessary. @wisecrack
Agreed!
I read this book 43 years ago when I was 12, and some of it still sticks with me. For example, when TN said
"He viewed childhood as a period of mental deficiency," I remember reading that at that young age and agreeing, thinking that my childhood had been a period of mental deficiency that I was just then emerging from. Funny, the things that stay with you.
That book really hooked me in and, with the help of the genealogy at the front, I was able to keep track of all the characters, despite it being seven generations of people who all had variations on a small number of names.
I read it 30 years ago… for. It was the intro and the whole first page! 😊
Nice! One of the fact that I feel García Márquez captured perfectly in this book is how it describes Latin America's history up to the date of publication (and arguably, still to the present day): a land full of potential in the middle of nowhere, away from the rest of the world.
A continent where its ruling elite, just like the Buendía clan, is completely oblivious to the rest of society since it isolates itself in order to "preserve" the family's fortune and influence. Outsiders and new ideas are welcomed only when they help the Buendías, if they prove to be counter to their self preservation they are quickly exiled with negative consequences for Macondo. Thus the cycle of chaos repeats itself generation after generation, leaving Macondo hopelessly behind in a turmoil of poverty and violence.
Please keep up with the excellent work, long time fan here! Thanks!
Good Analysis. I didn't realise the mirror symbolism and how deep it is in the structure of the book.
All foretold.
Would love to see "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", thanks for the videos they are awesome
Excellent choice 👌🏾
Yeeessss !
Yes and the philosophy of Mareep
Hell yeah
VALIS
I finally read "100 Years" six years ago. Since then, I've occasionally sought sources to help me better understand its themes and metaphors and so on. I loved the book and the poetry it contained, but I felt a richer understanding of it was not possible for me. Then I watched this video. Honestly, it has cleared some things up for me. I really appreciate it! Now, I'm going to see if you also did "Sound and Fury."
You made me buy this book. I just bought it today just because of you. I'm learning a lot from it!
Hey, did you like it?
@@angelaguilar1936 damn I wonder if he liked it
Do A Clockwork Orange! Would be perfect for this show.
It's in the pipeline! Early December!
Wisecrack Can't wait!
Wisecrack hadamn!
audiobooks are only justified if you have a hard visual deficiency, you are totally blind or suffering from dislexia or other dissorder that prevents you from correctly reading... Otherwise it is pure lazyness...
people is not reading anymore, and they are becoming so dumb that we do have a presidential contest between Trump and Hilary... THat's because most people is not using their brains... Sloth is one of the Deadly Sins for a reason... and mental sloth is the worst... I still hate audiobooks... I think they are an aid, as I said, to people with diverse needs, but otherwise they are not justified,,,
This was one of the hardest books I ever read. It was very difficult keeping track of the characters as they all had very similar names and some cases, shared the same name. It's a fantastic book with incredible imagery and themes though.
One of the best book ever written !
Awesome. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks for the love! Ever seen these literary conspiracies?listverse.com/2013/10/27/10-crazy-literary-conspiracy-theories/
Wisecrack Can you do Ender's Game sometime? Its a must read! Thanks for the in-depth analysis.
a collobaration on the banning of books or the authorship would be great for the next episode
Wisecrack No worries! I'll take a look now, thanks for the link! :)
Alltime Conspiracies
collab ahoy
Best book I've ever read so far. I couldn't believe it when I found out about this vid. Keep up your incredible work.
this channel is one of the main reasons, i started reading again.
I remember being subbed to the channel with only 6,000 subs. now you're coming up on 300,000. That's crazy! But you guys totally deserve it.
Would love to see Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keys. An amazing book.
Love this book, love this review. The editor in me can't help but correct the spelling of the town: It's Macondo, not Macando. Other than that, brilliant!
I rarely subscribe to anything, but this channel has made my love of books feel complete .
One of my favorites. Gotta love that magical realism.
Thank You so much.
Nadie había explicado esta novela la manera que usted lo hizo.
This book sounds really interesting. I don't know why I never read it in high school considering all the other classics we had to. I think I'll pick this up when I have some free time. Thanks Professor. :)
Come on give it to us brother. Melissa from Freedom Force battalion turned a lot of people on to your channel dude and you are awesome. You deliver history like nobody ever has and we love it! May God bless you always my brother!
Coincidentally, I just finished this book and hopped on CZcams, only to find this vid in my updates. Perfect timing!
sick episode, I would have loved you going deeper into the events that happened to every generation to remember it but it was an enjoyment video to remember this mess of a book, thank you.
You might, very well, just have helped me pass my History Finals!
Thank you so much for this. It's my birthday and this is my favorite book, keep doing this series bro.
This channel is awesome. hats off to all the creators and actors of the show. its entertaining and educational. all of these books are presented in a way that makes me want to read them. some of them i have already read and i though the videos of them were quite well done. the count of monte cristo is probably my favorite episode. cant wait for more thug notes and 8 bit psychology.
this is one of my fave novels. thx for the vid!
I think the city is named Macondo not Macando.
This really makes me want to read the book even more now! Good job on the video!
Just one of the best things on youtube, period.....
I hit the subscribe button over and over again and i ended up where i started :)
Nice one
Watership Down would be a great book for this show.
I think my biggest problem concerning this book is that i read it after finishing love in the time of cholera. Both from the same author , but honestly comparing the two is like comparing a cartoon to an oscar winning movie . Like there's no contest . One is written during the author's youth , the other when he is in his full power having matured over the years and became an accomplished writer . Even his signature , magical realism is altered in many ways in the love in the time of cholera to give it a highly sophisticated odour that has matured over the years , like a fine kind of wine that has gained new complexities to take it to another level of richness and taste and make it a much more fulfilling experience.
One of my favorite books, I'm a HUGE Garcia Marquez fan. Love In The Time Of Cholera is spectacular.
I love listening to your spanish man! Mad pronunciation :D (Venezuelan here)
Congratulations and thank you for doing a review of latinamerican classic. I would like to see more latin american books here, sometimes i feel the english world are unaware of the greatest book of the history.
I may recomend "The city and the dogs" and "the feast of the goat" of Mario Vargas llosa
I am so overjoyed to have found your most excellent channel. Your ability to bring down the knowledge - traditionally reserved for those who spend their lives in ivory towers - down to a street level is pure genius, and furthermore, spot on in its reflections. Please, please, please, consider doing a work by Tolstoy, War and Peace or Anna Karenina, take your pick. I know you would do either one of them supreme justice.
OMG that was so funny! Not only is it an concise and accurate summary of the story, you were confident enough to present it through a persona you called “thug”. Well done! Instant subscribe.
I remember reading that book for a project and I could never figure out what I was supposed to get from it. I wish this video was up 5 years ago lol
I would love to see an episode on Rabelais' Gargantua or Pantagruel.
This is a great channel, and I look forward to new Thug Notes every other Tuesday. I hope you keep this going for years!
My suggestion for a future episode would be Cormac McCarthy's, The Road. It's brilliant, bleak, and I think a lot of viewers would benefit from your analysis of its themes.
I'm so glad that I subscribed to this channel.
Anna Karenina or War&Peace! Any Tolstoy even, please!!
I think Roadside Picnic would be a great sci-fi book to do.
hi
This video is stupid good! I read 100 años twice. One when I was learning to read Spanish. & Again when read more fluidly. And I must admit this video has made me want to reread it. Coincidentally, after college this book was the only none I kept. GGM, thanks for giving us something wildly interesting to talk about.
Absolutely love this summary.
Now can you please do Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo?
Strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, please man. Peace from Croatia.
best channel ever. your story telling skills are great.
You have an eloquent way of synthesizing complex ideas into a simple summary.
Love in the time of cholera
I would love to see a video about Don Quixote
Sparky...I just called to say I love this and I mean it from the bottom of my heart 😍
Yo man, really happy you made this one. And the Spanish names are amazingly translated. Good notes.
THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY!!!!!
Ohhh... i get it. It's a town of mirrors because one generation is a reflection of the next of the next. It's hard to catch that since there's so much you already have to focus on while reading the book.
I really wish this show would come back
One of my favourite books.
Never noticed tho about the ideia of mirrows, tks!
Id love to see an episode on Foundation by Issac Asimov!
Can you do a summary and analysis of The Things They Carried and The Great Gatsby please?
They did the great gastby already I believe. But yeah! Do The things they carried! Such a good book!
twitty2000
I am currently reading The Things They Carried at school and I read the Great Gatsby once (also watched the movie). They are such great books
keep up the good work love this!
I love seeing these videos.
do the children of hurin by Jrr Tolkien
Can you do Jekyll and Hyde?
best channel on youtube
This book is so full of dialogue, how do we concentrate on all the characters too when they are named the same.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!
Please review Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar
Sparky Sweets breaking it down like a boss. I'd love to hear your take on Morrison's BELOVED.
I want to see sparky sweets become an actor, either in a television series or a movie. Man he is magnificent actor!
Could you please do one about Zaratustra by nietzsche or Of good and evil? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
Hot damn yo! * mind blown *
that's what I'm talkin' about!
Wisecrack
Mate.. hitting the sub button more than once.. does not work..
I really miss these videos
I sincerely think this is the best show I have ever watched.
And Then There Were None please!
There's a little mistake in the name when you do the quotes. The last name is García, not Marquez. Our names in spanish includes the name of the father and also the name of the mother. So, when you read it, you need to read the name of the father first (which is in the middle) and then the name of the mother, or just the name of the mother. So yeah, our last names are not really the "last" names.
PD: I'm not a huge fan of Gabo, but i think his last name is "García-Marquez" what makes it a one big last name, but im not sure.
Me contradigo solo jajajaja. Lo que quise escribir era: "Se lee el apellido del padre primero y después el de la madre, o sólo el del padre"
Let's say : the first surname and the second surname. In Spain you choose which parent's surname goes first.
Gotta hand it to you bro, it was an excellent analysis. This book reflects our solitude, but it is also an opportunity for us to change some aspects of our lives in order to have a more enjoyable ride until the lonely ass road of death comes, and maybe enlight the next generation just a little bit.
peace yo!
Love this Chanel
Please do Milan Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being.
+ian buenaventura Nah, let's do real literature, bitch
+Odisseu de Ítaca Wow, that's a good way to show class.
ian buenaventura It was a joke. I was attempting to talk like a "straight G". Sorry if it offended you.
+Odisseu de Ítaca oh ok didn't see that, no offense taken. :)
2:16 - Love most of Thug Notes 📝 Episodes but hold up...
Question: Why did you use an image of a child during a breach birth? Sorry, just curious, the image just kinda threw me...
Carry on ^_^.
If y'all do Les Miserables, y'all will skyrocket to my favorite channel.
...Ah, screw it, y'all already are my favorite channel.
But I would still thoroughly enjoy a Les Miserables ep.
You really know how to make books I avoided in school come alive! I actually want to read this book now.
Wait, this sounds a lot like a book I read about a Canadian town that was built up on generational incest, and was eventually broken up by police. However, the only thing I can find about it is a book called On South Mountain, which is the recounting of the real life Goler Clan, "mountainfolk" who were charged by the RCMP for hundreds of counts of incest and sexual abuse of children as young as five, after a 14 year old girl escaped. It doesn't at all sound like the story I read, but the setting and concept definitely fit. What other books are written with this kind of story?
+pugfugly1989 100 Years of Solitude is nothing like the story you just described above. Though there is some incest, it is not as prevalent as the story you mentioned.
Respectfully,
CS
camilo sanchez You haven't read the book I was thinking of, then.
+pugfugly1989 You're right. However, I am missing your point.
camilo sanchez The summarized story was close enough to make me recall the story I read, so there must be enough of a relation for me to think that, right?
+pugfugly1989 Alright I get where you're coming from. I was just letting you know that, coming from someone who has read 100 Years of Solitude, the theme of incest is nowhere near as prevalant as Thug Notes makes it to be. I personally would NOT relate the story you mentioned with 100YOS on based on this loose connection. Different opinions from two different people is all.
Peace.
A Clockwork Orange
My university class is actually having our last discussion day on One Hundred Years of Solitude this morning, so this was pretty insightful for that! Thanks for doing a video on this book. :-)
I´ve read 3 times the book and I like your summary it's different and refreshing view
starship troopers?
Or Master Of Puppets
Damian Reloaded you mean the puppet masters? Lol
Brandon Deiser lol yeah, I got my metallica al tangled up ^_^
Breakfast of champions?
Man I really miss these
Great episode! You guys should do one on A clock work orange
