Forlagsbeskrivelse af Love In The Time of Cholera af Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Florentino Ariza has never forgotten his first love. He has waited nearly a lifetime in silence since his beloved Fermina married another man. But now her husband is dead. Finally Florentino has another chance to declare his eternal passion and win her back. Will love that has survived half a century remain unrequited? A poignant meditation on the nature of desire, and the enduring power of love, Gabriel García Márquez''s Love in the Time of Cholera is translated from the Spanish by Edith Grossman in Penguin Modern Classics.Florentino Ariza is a hopeless romantic who falls passionately for the beautiful Fermina Daza, but finds his love tragically rejected. Instead Fermina marriesdistinguished doctor Juvenal Urbino, while Florentino can only wait silently for her. He can never forget his first and only true love. Then, fifty-one years, nine months and four days later, Fermina''s husband dies unexpectedly. At last Florentino has another chance to declare his feelings and discover if a passion that has endured for half a century will remain unrequited, in a rich, fantastical and humane celebration of love in all its many forms.Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928) was born in Aracataca, Colombia.
