Later he moved to Bogotá and worked for the daily El Espectador, then worked as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York City. His most commercially successful novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien años de soledad) (1967; English translation by Gregory Rabassa 1970), has sold more than ten million copies.
