Synopsis "Love in the Time of Cholera (Vintage International) (in English)"

A beautifully packaged edition of one of García Márquez's most beloved novels, with never-before-seen color illustrations by the Chilean artist Luisa Rivera and an interior design created by the author's son, Gonzalo García Barcha. In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs--yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.

(1927- 2014), nacido en Colombia, es una de las figuras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura universal. Ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1982, fue, además de novelista, cuentista, ensayista, crítico cinematográfico, autor de guiones y un intelectual comprometido con los grandes problemas de nuestro tiempo, sobre todo los que afectaban a su amada Colombia y a Hispanoamérica en general. Máxima figura del llamado «realismo mágico». Fue en definitiva, el hacedor de uno de los mundos narrativos más densos de significado que ha dado la lengua española en el siglo XX.
