From the Nobel Prize-winning author of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" comes a masterly evocation of an unrequited passion so strong that it binds three people's lives together for more than fifty years. In the story of Florentino Ariza, who waits more than half a century to declare his undying love to the beautiful Fermina Daza, whom he lost to Dr. Juvenal Urbino so many years before, Garcia Marquez has created a vividly absorbing fictional world, as lush and dazzling as a dream and as real and immediate as our own deepest longings.

Review:

One of this century's most evocative writers (Anne Tyler)

A delight. The interlocking of the stories, the fantastical and obsessional aspects of M�rquez have never been better shown. (Melvyn Bragg)

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. Translated from Spanish by Edith Grossman. The "aromatic fumes" of a lover's poison lead the way into the story of an unrequited love that survives 51 years, 9 months, and 4 days. Florentino Ariza, a man with the soul of a poet and the patience of a Saint, has waited more than half a century for his love, the beautiful and "naturally haughty" Fermina Daza--since she revoked her promise to be his wife and married one of their city's wealthiest men, Dr. Juvenal Urbino, instead. That half-century is filled with encounters and travel, births, deaths, and poetry. As Fermina Daza and Dr. Urbino build their life together, creating a love based on shared experience, Florentino Ariza builds his own life, remaining loyal to Fermina Daza in his heart, if not exactly faithful, succumbing to 622 "long-term liaisons." But it is only when Dr. Urbino dies that Florentino Ariza's real life begins. Seller Inventory # 820
