The Japanese paperback edition of One Hundred Years of Solitude has become a summer publishing phenomenon, selling 290,000 copies in just eight weeks, driven largely by the upcoming Netflix adaptation.
Ryo Kikuchi, promoting the new edition, emphasized the importance of the low-price format and the timing with Gabo's tenth death anniversary to reintroduce Marquez's literature to new audiences.
The cover of this new edition, crafted by renowned illustrator Ryuto Miyake, connects the release to contemporary artistic trends while drawing inspiration from the book's magical realism.
Despite the slow initial sales of the original edition released in Japan in 1972, One Hundred Years of Solitude has maintained its prestigious presence in bookstores and has sold at least 50 million copies globally.
