Sinopse

The special hardcover edition of one of Gabriel García Márquez's most important books.

While still very young, telegraphist, violinist, and poet Gabriel Elígio Garciá fell in love with Luiza Márquez, but the romance faced opposition from her father, Colonel Nicolas, who tried to prevent the marriage by sending his daughter to the countryside on a year-long trip. To maintain his love, Gabriel, with the help of telegraphist friends, set up a communications network that reached Luiza wherever she was.

This is the true story of Gabriel García Márquez's parents and was the starting point for *Love in the Time of Cholera* , which follows the love affair between telegrapher, violinist, and poet Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza. The book began in 1984 in Cartagena de las Indias, at the end of the sabbatical García Márquez took after receiving the Nobel Prize. There, the author collected some of the events recounted in the book, such as the cholera epidemic that ravaged the city in the late 19th century and the sinking of the Spanish galleon San Jose, laden with jewels.

Love in the Time of Cholera , as its name suggests, is a beautiful love story, punctuated by scented letters and flower petals pressed between the pages. And not just a simple story, but a grand treatise on love.

Florentino Ariza's never-written treatise, which contained three thousand sample letters for lovers in three volumes, encompassing all the possibilities of love. The passionate love of adolescence, conjugal love, clandestine love, shy love, sexual or libertine love. The tedium of love, its struggles, forgetfulness, metamorphoses, its betrayals and illnesses, triumphs, anguish, and pleasures. Love in letters, the awakening of this love, near or far, mad love. The love of half a century, which finds septuagenarian lovers touching for the first time. The love that is kept and awaits, finally, its fulfillment.
