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, García Márquez has created a vividly absorbing fictional world, as lush and dazzling as a dream and as real and immediate as our own deepest longings. Now available for the first time in the Contemporary Classics series!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A rich, commodious novel whose narrative power is matched only by its generosity of vision." <br>--<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"A love story of astonishing power and delicious comedy . . . humane, richly comic, almost unbearably touching and altogether extraordinary." --<i>Newsweek</i> <p/>"It's spellbinding--a luminous novel by a master of storytelling."<br>--Joseph Heller <p/>"The greatest luxury, as in all of García Márquez's books, is the eerie, entirely convincing suspension of the laws of reality . . . the agelessness of the human story as told by one of this century's most evocative writers." <br>--Anne Tyler, <i>Chicago Sun-Times Book Week</i> <p/>"Revolutionary in daring to suggest that vows of love made under a presumption of immortality--youthful idiocy, to some--may yet be honored, much later in life when we ought to know better, in the face of the undeniable. . . . A shining and heartbreaking book." <br>--Thomas Pynchon, <i>The New York Times Book Review </i> <p/>"Thoroughly engrossing on the highest artistic level. It is easily his best work since <i>One Hundred Years of Solitude</i> . . . His vision is exalting."<br>--<i>Cleveland Plain Dealer</i> <p/>"Mr. García Márquez displays a wise benevolence, an ability to see both the tragedy and humor of [his characters'] situations; and this tone burnishes the novel with the warm, soft glow of redemption . . . The result is a rich, commodious novel whose narrative power is matched only by its generosity of vision."<br>--Michiko Kakutani, <i>New York Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>García Márquez was born in Aracataca, Colombia, in 1928.
