In the late 1800s, in a Caribbean port city, a young telegraph operator named Florentino Ariza falls deliriously in love with Fermina Daza, a beautiful student. In this magnificent story, García Márquez beautifully and unflinchingly explores the nature of love in all its guises—small and large, passionate and serene.

Love can ravage its host like a disease, but it can also persevere through the bleakest decades and survive the effects of time itself.
