P Mary Wesley on Garcia Marq Set in an unnamed Caribbean seaport, Garcia Marquezs extraordinary Love in the Time of Cholera 1988 relates one of literatures most remarkable stories of unrequited love. This shining and heartbreaking novel, Thomas Pynchon wrote in The New York Times Book Review, is one of those few rare works that can even return our worn souls to us. P Mary Wesley on Garcia Marquezs Love in the Time of Cholera: This is the funniest, most moving book I have read and re-read. Each reading discovers fresh delights, a true classic. Garcia Marquez is the greatest South American writer who doesnt hesitate to write of the spiritual and mundane in the same paragraph. De jóvenes, Florentino Ariza y Fermina Daza se enamoran apasionadamente, pero Fermina eventualmente decide casarse con un médico rico y de muy buena familia. Florentino está anonadado, pero es un romántico. Su carrera en los negocios florece, y aunque sostiene 622 pequeños romances, su corazón todavía pertenece a Fermina. Cuando al fin el esposo de ella muere, Florentino acude al funeral con toda intención. A los cincuenta años, nueve meses y cuatro días de haberle profesado amor a Fermina, lo hará una vez más. Con sagacidad humorística y depurado estilo, García Márquez traza la historia excepcional de un amor que no ha sido correspondido por medio siglo. Aunque nunca parece estar propiamente contenido, el amor fluye a través de la novela de mil maneras –alegre, melancólico, enriquecedor, siempre sorprendente-.
