    About this ebook

    The story revolves around the major characters Florentino Ariza, Fermina, Daza, and Dr. Juvenal Urbino. There are several flashback scenes and numerous repetitions, which with the element of foreshadowing makes the narrative highly unconventional yet very emphatic.

    The main theme is the struggle of the people in the time of cholera, but the theme of love binds all other related aspects of the story.

    There are three protagonists of the novel, who as the novel progresses die one by one.

    When the book was first published, the author was already a world famous person and the book was very well received, however, it was not as successful as “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” For all that, it is a highly interesting and thought provoking work of literature.

      Chapter One: Introduction

      Love In the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez was first published in Spanish language in 1985. It was titled El amor en los tiempos del colera.

      The English translation of the novel was done by Alfred A. Knopf, and the English edition was published in 1988.

      The movie of the same name Love In the Time of Cholera was released in the year 2007.

      The most significant themes of the novel are cholera, fear of ageing, love, death, time, and society. The story is highly influenced by the oral traditions of story-telling and the magical realism. Gabriel Garcia Marquez first used magical realism in his world famous novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.

      The theme of love is explored through an unconventional angle in the present novel. The unorthodox structure of the novel and inclusion of magical realism took the traditional novel away from its more traditional style of writing.

      The story revolves around the major characters Florentino Ariza, Fermina, Daza, and Dr. Juvenal Urbino. There are several flashback scenes and numerous repetitions, which with the element of foreshadowing makes the narrative highly unconventional yet very emphatic.

      The main theme is the struggle of the people in the time of cholera, but the theme of love binds all other related aspects of the story.

      There are three protagonists of the novel, who as the novel progresses die one by one.

      When the book was first published, the author was already a world famous person and the book was very well received, however, it was not as successful as One Hundred Years of Solitude. For all that, it is a highly interesting and thought provoking work of literature.

      Chapter Two: Setting

      The major part of the story is set in an anonymous port city, somewhere near the Caribbean Sea and the Magdalena River.

      Through the names of places and the descriptions of several other things it is assumed that the place was based on Cartagena, near the city of Barranquilla.

      The District of the Viceroys and The Arcade of the Scribes are the divisions of the fictional city.

      The story takes place sometime between 1880 and 1930. The city is described as unclean and decaying place. The streets are steamy and sleepy. There are rat infested sewers and old slave quarter. The degenerating
