GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ GABRIEL LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA

Nobel prize winner and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude Gabriel García Márquez tells a
tale of an unrequited love that outlasts all rivals in his masterpiece Love in the Time of
Cholera  published as a Penguin Essential for the first time.   Fifty-one years  nine months
and four days have passed since Fermina Daza rebuffed hopeless romantic Florentino Ariza's
impassioned advances and married Dr Juvenal Urbino instead. During that half-century 
Flornetino has fallen into the arms of many delighted women  but has loved none but Fermina.
Having sworn his eternal love to her  he lives for the day when he can court her again.  When
Fermina's husband is killed trying to retrieve his pet parrot from a mango tree  Florentino
seizes his chance to declare his enduring love. But can young love find new life in the
twilight of their lives?  'The most important writer of fiction in any language' Bill Clinton 
'An exquisite writer  wise  compassionate and extremely funny' Sunday Telegraph   'An amazing
celebration of the many kinds of love between men and women' The Times
