Author - Gabriel Garcia Marquez Translated from the Spanish edition by Edith Grossman. Publisher Alfred A. Knopf – 1988 Condition – New with Dust Jacket. No bent pages, no markings of any kind and no wear to board edges It's a story of a decades-long love triangle that bridges the turn of the century in a Caribbean sea-coastal town. The principals are a merchant-trader, Florentino Ariza; the sheltered and beautiful Fermina Daza; and the starchy physician who marries her, Dr. Juvenal Urbino de la Calle. 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.
