Marquez at his best

For those who think of love as moonlight and roses, or are looking for a book filled with sentimental sweetness, this is not the novel for you. For those looking for a treatise on the manifold forms that love can take: passion, devotion, affection, tenderness, violence, complacency and understanding -- and how they inter-relate to the larger world of society, politics and religion, then give this a try. It is, quite simply, one of the Great 20th Century novels. It's a shame that it has been typecast as "a tale of unrequited love," because it is so very much more.

Outstanding Love Story

Fermina and Florentino are portrayed in "Love in the Time of Cholera" as an eternal match of lovers. Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a master in his writings. Florentino is able to maintain his love for his chosen beauty throughout his life. He reluctantly accepts her marriage to another, but he continues to cherish and adore the one true first love of his life. Marquez is a true master at his descriptions of love, and sex and beauty as few authors are capable. His books are very readable, and glue the reader to the characters as if one is actually thrust into the story of his dynamic pictures. I find Marques to be the writer of some of the most compelling novels that I have ever read. I would not hesitate to recommend his books to become a portion of one's favorite library section. Dale B.

In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs--yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.
