Netflix’s series adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude premieres December 11, 2024! One of the twentieth century’s enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize–winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America. Love and lust, war and revolution, riches and poverty, youth and senility, the variety of life, the endlessness of death, the search for peace and truth—these universal themes dominate the novel. Alternately reverential and comical, One Hundred Years of Solitude weaves the political, personal, and spiritual to bring a new consciousness to storytelling. Translated into dozens of languages, this stunning work is no less than an account of the history of the human race.

In a near future. FBI special agent Jai Young is on the trail of a terrorist group targeting biotech interests. The closer he gets, the more and more it doesn't look anything like a straightforward counterterrorism investigation. It's not just that one of the perpetrators is a deadly female assassin with telepathic abilities and a lioness tail. In a well hidden world known only to a select few, how many others are there of her kind? And if genetically engineered humans really do exist, why create them? And why are several of them now on a killing spree?

"Just because you were ordinary there doesn't mean you have to be anything less than extraordinary here." That's the advice orphan Amira DeLante was given when she found herself caught accidentally in an alternate realm. Still unable to swallow her new reality, she found herself beginning to question her past, present, and future. From a geeky childhood to a lonely adulthood, all the 18-year-old teenager knew was to keep her head down and complete her education, come what may. After accidentally transporting herself to the Imperium Realm on the night of a solar eclipse, she was expected to keep the origin of her arrival a secret because it would bring up too many questions to which nobody had answers. Still unable to swallow her new reality, she attempted to blend in with the swarm of elemental students at the Arcadia Academy of Advanced Arts. But, the more she tried to go unnoticed, the more the spotlight continued falling on her. Everything seemed like happiness and sunshine on the outside, but she never expected that buried underneath all that goodwill were rotten secrets which would cause a catastrophe. And when past betrayals come to seek revenge on the injustice done to them, it's the younger generation who has to pay. She finds herself caught in the deep end of a web of lies she wove, the deception of politics, a royal scheme, unexplainable disasters, and more magic than she could handle. The possibility of true peace seems impossible, but along with new friends and acquaintances, a strong effort to thwart pain could definitely be made. The life she knew, completely upended, Amira DeLante steps into shoes too large for her to bring glory to.

"Nearly five decades of on-the-job training have equipped O'Neal with the skills and charm of a master storyteller."—The Drama Review "A dramatic tale spinner with a canny sense of humor and a winning, engaging stage presence. . . . O'Neal's shows mix folksiness, a sophisticated sense of theatricality and astute observation that are a pleasure to watch."—The Philadelphia Inquirer Artist and activist John M. O'Neal is best known for his Junebug Jabbo Jones cycle of plays, a remarkable collection of tales and anecdotes drawn from African American oral literature, which he has performed all over the globe.

For over one hundred years, Americans have debated what equality of opportunity means and the role of government in ensuring it. Are we born with equality of opportunity, and must we thus preserve our innate legal and political freedoms? Or must it be created through laws and policies that smooth out social or economic inequalities? David Davenport and Gordon Lloyd trace the debate as it has evolved from America's founding into the twentieth century, when the question took on greater prominence. The authors use original sources and historical reinterpretations to revisit three great debates and their implications for the discussions today. First, they imagine the Founders, especially James Madison, arguing the case against the Progressives, particularly Woodrow Wilson. Next are two conspicuous public dialogues: Herbert Hoover and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's debate around the latter's New Deal; and Ronald Reagan's response to Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society and War on Poverty. The conservative-progressive divide in this discussion has persisted, setting the stage for understanding the differing views about equality of opportunity today. The historical debates offer illuminating background for the question: Where do we go from here?
