The teaser takes the viewers into the mesmerising world created by García Márquez, featuring pivotal characters José Arcadio Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán.

One Hundred Years of Solitude teaser: Gabriel García Márquez’s iconic novel gets adapted for Netflix 

It has been a decade since famous novelist Gabriel García Márquez passed away but his final novel is hitting now. The author would have been against the idea of the release, but his sons have decided to release the novel&nbsp;titled Until August.&nbsp; 
 
When the Nobel Prize–winning writer breathed his last in 2014, he was working on his book Until August. Márquez battled dementia in the years before his death and attempted at least five versions of the story but eventually decided to terminate the project completely. 
 
“He told me directly that the novel had to be destroyed,” his son Gonzalo García Barcha said in a new interview with The New York Times. But along with his elder brother, Rodrigo García, he resolved to ignore their father’s request and publish his last work.

The late author's son revealed that Márquez was working intensely on the manuscript of Until August and even sent a draft to his literary agent. However, due to his dementia, he decided against publishing the book. 
 
“Gabo lost the ability to judge the book,” Rodrigo told the Times. “He was no longer able to even follow the plot, probably.” He added that, upon revisiting the novel themselves, they found that “it was much better than we remembered.” 
 
While the brothers are aware that their action may be termed as “greedy",&nbsp;they feel the novel will be a valuable addition to their father’s body of work, marking his first novel centred on a female protagonist. 
 
Gabriel García Márquez's last novel Until August 
 
The novel will narrate the intimate tale of Ana Magdalena Bach, a woman in her late 40s who travels to a Caribbean island every August to visit her mother’s grave. The journey serves as a phase of self-fulfilment each time and the visits allow her brief liberation from her husband and family, leading her to begin a series of illicit affairs. 
 
Márquez was a Colombia-born author and journalist and affectionately known as Gabo. He is considered one of the most important writers of the 20th century. He published six novels, including the acclaimed classic One Hundred Years of Solitude, and seven non-fiction books, as well as numerous novellas and short story collections.&nbsp;Until August hits shelves on March 12.

Gabriel García Márquez's sons publish his final novel a decade after his death

The groundbreaking novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is coming to the screen for the first time in a Spanish language series for Netflix, the streaming service said on Wednesday. 
 
The multi-generational family tale, published in 1967, is widely considered one of the most influential novels of the 20th century and an early example of the magical realism style embraced by other Latin American authors. 
 
Garcia Marquez`s two sons will serve as executive producers on the television series, which will be filmed mainly in the author`s native Colombia. 
 
They said in a statement that the Nobel Prize winning novelist, who died in 2014, had been reluctant to sell the rights to the books for years "because he believed that it could not be made under the time constraints of a feature film, or that producing it in a language other than Spanish would not do it justice." 
However, given what has been called a new golden age of television "and the acceptance by worldwide audiences of programs in foreign languages, the time could not be better to bring an adaptation to the extraordinary global viewership that Netflix provides." 
 
The announcement follows Netflix`s acclaimed black and white Mexican movie 'Roma,'&nbsp;filmed in Spanish and indigenous Mixtec, which won three Oscars last month. 
 
Netflix in February announced it was expanding its presence in Mexico, opening an office in Mexico City and furthering its development of movie and television projects in Spanish.
