Love in the Time of Cholera (Spanish: ''El amor en los tiempos del cólera'', 1985) is a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez about a fifty-year love triangle between Fermina Daza, Florentino Ariza, and Doctor Juvenal Urbino set in the late 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century (roughly 1880 to 1930). The novel, a tale of unrequited love, explores the idea that suffering for love is a kind of nobility.

Tragic love story spanning a century. Language is exquisite. Translation loses none of its flavor

An exhilarating account of a love that lasts, and of a kind of fidelity that doesn't appear so.

Not my favorite Marquez book, but it was alright. It seemed a little slow to me.

Very wordy. The message is very romantic, and the tale is good, however.

Somewhat sick :P

Its a very painful story. Yes i like the details and the writing of Marquez, but this whole story is almost like a fetish for sadness and love that has become more than an obsession. It is a love sick lifestyle of a man who worships what he cannot have. I wasnt sorry that i read the book, but i somehow wanted more from Marquez.
