A commemorative edition of Love in the Time of Cholera, a great classic by Gabriel García Márquez and an essential novel of contemporary literature. After the spectacular commemorative edition of
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Chilean artist Luisa Rivera once again pays homage to García Márquez with a series of unpublished illustrations that recreate the author's extraordinary universe.
"It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of thwarted love." Thus begins one of the most wonderful love stories in universal literature. An unrequited love for half a century with a small Caribbean port town as its setting. The Colombian Nobel laureate presents the magical relationship between Fermina Daza and Florentino Ariza as a tropical mix of plants and clay that the master molds and fantasizes with at his pleasure between the territories of myth and legend. The juices, smells, and flavors of the tropics nourish a unique and original prose that has won the favor of millions of readers worldwide.

The International Bestseller and modern literary classic by Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
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.

Gabriel García Márquez, nacido en Colombia, es una de las figuras más importantes e influyentes de la literatura universal.

Máxima figura del realismo mágico, fue en definitiva el hacedor de uno de los mundos narrativos más densos de significados que ha dado la lengua española en el siglo xx. Entre sus obras más importantes se encuentran las novelas Cien años de soledad, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba, Crónica de una muerte anunciada, La mala hora, El general en su laberinto, El amor en los tiempos del cólera, Memoria de mis putas tristes, el libro de relatos Doce cuentos peregrinos, la primera parte de su autobiografía, Vivir para contarla, y sus discursos reunidos en Yo no vengo a decir un discurso.
