Love in the Time of Cholera. Illustrated edition
“It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.” This is how one of the most wonderful love stories in universal literature begins. A love unrequited for half a century, set in a small Caribbean port town. The Nobel laureate presents the magical relationship between Fermina Daza and Florentino Ariza as a tropical blend of plants and clay, which the master molds and fantasizes with at his pleasure between the realms of myth and legend. The juices, smells, and flavors of the tropics feed a hallucinatory prose that has won the favor of thousands of readers worldwide. In a society grappling with conventionalism and the avant-garde, custom and scientific progress, the romance of Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza is destined to remain in the memory of its readers in an idyllic time. |
