Omschrijving
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.
One of this century's most evocative writers
A delight. The interlocking of the stories, the fantastical and obsessional aspects of Márquez have never been better shown.
No lover of fiction can fail to respond to the grace of Márquez's writing
A love story of astonishing power and delicious comedy
An amazing celebration of the many kinds of love between men and women... among Márquez's best fiction
Few have written so passionately about the power of love
