This paper is a study on "Magical Realism", which is a term originally used by Franz Roh,a German critic of art and historian. The term gradually came to be used for literature,especially for Latin American literature. We now use it when we discuss and think of LatinAmerican authors（novelists）such as Alejo Carpentier, Gabriel Garc a Ma´rquez andCarlos Fuentes, etc. But we can also study authors of other areas like William Faulkner andJames Joyce, etc., through this "Magical Realism".What we treat in the field of "Magical Realism" is the mixture of realism and non-realism（fantasy）. In literature it is thus a new term, not old, as Professor Vera Kutzinski of theDepartment of English of Yale University says. It is not so easy to define this term veryclearly. It is at the same time comprehensive and specific in its meaning.This paper discusses what "Magical Realism" is both in meaning and historically and howit works especially in Gabriel Garc a Ma´rquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and WilliamFaulkner's Absalom, Absalom!, etc.The final aim is to make clear what the "Magical Realism" authors could do and how theydid it. Indeed,“Magical Realism”seems to be one of the most effective and worthiest wayof writing for authors to describe the deep truths of modern complicated human society.
