Synopsis
Love in the Time of Cholera is an International Bestselling novel by Nobel Prize-winning Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. It is considered a modern literary classic, and one of the best novels of the 20th century. 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. (From the Publisher). It is considered a non-traditional love story as "lovers find love in their 'golden years'—in their seventies, when death is all around them" Love in the Time of Cholera was first published in Spanish in 1985, with an English translation released in 1988 by Alfred A. Knopf. An English-language film adaptation was released in 2007. -
