After the feared consummation of incest that leads to the birth of the baby with a tail, the deaths of Amaranta Úrsula and her son will free Aureliano Babilonia to fulfill his destiny: deciphering Melquíades' manuscripts. In this episode, Nadia Celis and her guests analyze the end of the Buendía lineage in relation to key themes in One Hundred Years of Solitude: time, love, and the power of literature in the face of the "unavoidable" repetition of history. Jaime Abello, co-founder with Gabriel García Márquez of the Gabo Foundation, and Álvaro Santana Acuña, a researcher of the global rise of this novel, also discuss the book's writing process, its trajectory, and García Márquez's legacy beyond this masterpiece.
