The materials of this work come from 「A Hundred Years of Solitude」 by García Márquez. This book is claimed to be the second greatest masterpiece that deserves everyone to read after 「The Genesis」. The 「solitude」 in its title points all the characters’ fates into one direction, and that is the fundament of our time: emptiness, and foresees the constant reoccurrence of solitude. Solitude prevails the society, and every single one of us is a loner in a different state, each has its unique way to resist solitude, and almost the totality of 「the ways against solitude」 for mankind has been recorded in this book. I found 49 ways in the whole book.
這個作品的材料來自馬爾克斯《百年孤獨》一書的書頁。《百年孤獨》是號稱在《創世紀》之後值得全人類閱讀的文學巨作。書名中的「孤獨」一詞，很明顯地指出了書中的人物的命運都歸結於一個時代的根源——虛無，並預示了孤獨的頻頻出現。孤獨於這個社會中生存，每個人是處於不同狀態的孤獨者，而每個人都在用自己獨特的方式來抵抗孤獨，在這本書中，幾乎涵蓋了人類一切可以抵抗孤獨的方法。我在全書中尋找到了四十九個。
