About This Book

Published in 1985, Love in the Time of Cholera established Gabriel García Márquez as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Florentino Ariza waits more than fifty years for Fermina Daza, the love of his youth who chose a more respectable suitor, her husband Dr. Juvenal Urbino. When the doctor dies, Florentino finally declares his love. García Márquez's most accessible novel is a profound meditation on the many forms of love and the passage of time. Themes of love, aging, time run through the work. The book has received recognition from Nobel Prize in Literature 1985.
