Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
In Colombia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, crazy love was rampant like cholera. At the funeral of Dr. Urbino, who died unexpectedly, his wife was extremely sad, but she welcomed an unexpected guest: her former lover Florentino showed up and told her that more than half a century later, he was still waiting for her. It all started with a chance glance many years ago. The young operator Florentino fell in love with Fermina at first sight. The two secretly got married, but Fermina's father opposed it. Fermina, who felt the emptiness of love, left him. More than 50 years later, he finally had the opportunity to declare his unchanging love again...

Love in the Time of Cholera is the first novel completed by García Márquez after he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. It tells a love epic spanning more than half a century, exhausting all possibilities of love: loyal, secret, rough, shy, platonic, dissolute, fleeting, life-and-death... Márquez once said: "This is my best work, a creation from my heart."
