Love in the Time of Cholera (Illustrated and Quarter-Bound)

Our review

This novel is one more of the immeasurable works that Gabriel García Márquez has left us. It doesn't matter the genre, you know it's Gabo and that it will captivate you until the end. Seeing love from this author's perspective is an experience not to be missed. Without a doubt, it's not your typical romance novel, it's a novel about life and love, the kind they don't make anymore.

Imagine a love so stubborn and profound that it refuses to die. A love that survives distance, rejection, a fifty-year marriage, and more than six hundred nights of solace in other arms. This is the promise García Márquez makes you in this work, inspired by the love story of his own parents.

It is a sensory journey through the colorful streets and rivers of a Caribbean that no longer exists, where love is confused with an illness and vows can last a lifetime. If you are looking for a novel that makes you reflect on patience and the thousand forms that love takes, this work will captivate you with prose that smells of almond blossoms and nostalgia.

This edition is a gem with a half-cloth binding and color illustrations!

In their youth, Florentino Ariza and the beautiful Fermina Daza fall madly in love.

For the next 51 years, 9 months, and 4 days, while she lives her marriage, he becomes a successful businessman and has countless lovers, but keeps his heart intact for his one true love.

About the Author

Gabriel García Márquez (Colombia, 1927 - Mexico, 2014), known as "Gabo," is one of the central figures of magical realism and one of the most important authors of the 20th century, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982. Pressured to study law, he found his true school in journalism. In newsrooms, he polished his style and learned to tell stories with rigor, a crucible where he forged the unique voice that would give life to Macondo and change literature forever with his masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude.
