Özet:

It is a literary kind that takes the source of the novel from human life. The novel, which has been studied in different forms since the first time it was written, has a multi-dimensional structure. This structure expressed by Mihail Bahtin as a carnival, offers the possibility of his novel to be explained with multiplicity, heteroglossia, chronotop, menippos and grotesk concepts. The concrete examples of these concepts that Bahtin brought to the literary world can be seen in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Century Solitude novel. This novel of the author is considered the masterpiece of the magical realism stream. In his Century Solitude novel, Marquez puts the Buendia family's native tree, different social classes, life cycle, the opposite reality of life in a dream world, and presents it to the reader along with the carnival structure. Studying the century roman of loneliness, limiting the characters to titles such as the story, the story, the time, the space, the narrative and the perspective, is not enough to understand the value of the novel. Bahtin removes the novel’s view from tradition and looks at the story between dream and reality with a carnivalistic understanding. This view gives value to all parts of the story, even to the details of the novel, by clear understanding of the novel. The aim of this study is to illuminate the magical world of the novel, reminding the carnival world in the Century Solitude novel, the concepts of multiplicity, chronotop, grotesk and menippos from the novel in pieces, and to show that the Century Solitude novel carries the carnival novel characteristics of Bahtin with all its details.
