Abstract
El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985) tells the story of a lifelong, passionate love between Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza, who reunite in old age after decades apart. Set in the Caribbean coast of Colombia, the novel explores themes of love, aging, and perseverance. García Márquez weaves magical realism and rich historical detail, portraying love as both tender and enduring, transcending time, social barriers, and personal challenges. It is a profound meditation on the complexity of human emotions.
