Is something lost in translating 100 Years of Solitude from Spanish into English?

Absolutely?

Are there many books originally written in English that are better than the English translation of 100 Years of Solitude?

Very very few, actually.

‪"Red, White & Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston is a romantic novel. Find out how two friends were forced to fake a friendship for political reasons, but their feelings deepened into a secret romance that challenges their lives and the world's perception. https://bit.ly/445UfVI‬
