Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Book review by Robert Couteau Published in: Arete Magazine Dec. 1988.
(San Diego, CA: Alden Mills.) Robert Couteau
Love in the Time of Cholera Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Knopf)
As its title implies, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s widely acclaimed Love in the Time of Cholera is a creative amalgam of two starkly contrasting elements: the sacredness of love and love’s embodiment in often horrific, everyday experience. Ultimately, the transcendental power of spiritual love emerges as the beautifully rendered theme of this evocative, paradoxical masterwork.
Marquez has always displayed great fortitude in his willingness to experiment and expand his stylistic repertoire. While Love in the Time of Cholera has formal similarities to his two other great fictional works - One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Autumn of the Patriarch - it avoids an exclusive reliance on either the stunning hallucinatory quality of the former or the lush density of the latter. Instead, maintaining an almost folktale quality grounded with the feel of everyday gossip, it incorporates images of love that hover midway between otherworldly beauty and netherworld terror.

Biographical Sketch
Colombia
Colombia won its independence from Spain in 1810, technically making it one of Latin America's oldest democracies, but the sad fact is that this "democracy" has rarely known peace and justice.
In the beginning, there was of course Spain and the Indians, happily hating each other as the Spaniards tore the land up in quest for gold, El Dorado, religious converts, and political power. The English, too, played their part, with Drake attacking Riohachi in 1568 and the countless colonial squabbles of the next few centuries. Declaring itself independent from Spain when Napoleon ousted the Spanish King in 1810, the new country experienced a brief period of freedom and then was quickly reconquered in 1815 by the unpleasant and bloody campaigns of General Murillo. So much did their internal bickering allow their fledgling country to fall to the sword of Murillo, the period is immortalized in Colombia's history with the colorful name of la Patria Boba

Garcia Marquez, Gabriel Love in the Time of Cholera
Genre Novel (348 pp.) Keywords Aging Doctor-Patient Relationship Epidemics Infectious Disease ... Time Summary As a young woman, Fermina Daza kept a lengthy and passionate correspondence with Florentino Ariza, who was socially her inferior, but was desperately in love with her. They became engaged through their letters, exchanged through hiding places and telegrams in code. But one day, when Fermina Daza comes close to Florentino Ariza in the market, she feels suddenly ill and tells him it was all a mistake. Instead, she marries Dr. Juvenal Urbino, a European-educated perfectionist, who falls in love with her on a medical visit. Their tumultuous but affectionate marriage lasts over fifty years, through a civil war, cholera outbreaks and the Doctor's brief affair with a patient. Juvenal Urbino distinguishes himself by instituting policies to combat cholera. He dies, falling from a tree as he attempts to catch his pet parrot. Florentino Ariza comes to the wake. He is now about seventy and controls a wealthy shipping operation. After the other guests leave, he approaches Fermina Daza, saying, "I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century, to repeat to you once again my vow of eternal fidelity and ever-lasting love."

Gabriel García Márquez
Achats de livres possible Extrait d'oeuvre : Douze contes vagabonds Gabriel García Márquez est né le 6 Mars 1928 à Aracataca, village de Colombie. Il est le fils d'un télégraphiste, Gabriel Eligio Garcia, et d'une jeune fille de la bourgeoisie locale, Luisa Santiaga Marquez. Mais il fut véritablement élevé par ses grands-parents maternels. Son grand-père, Nicolas Marquez Iguaran, un ancien colonel, était son compagnon et confident. La grand- mère, Tranquilina Iguaran Cotes, femme nerveuse et visionnaire, entrait la nuit dans sa chambre et le terrorisait par ses histoires de revenants. La maison et son ambiance constitueront le cadre de nombreux contes et romans. En 1936, il étudie au collège de Barranquilla, puis dans un internat de Zipaquira où il obtient en 1946 le baccalauréat. En 1947, étudiant en droit à l’université de Bogota. il publie dans El Espectador sa nouvelle:

Un prologo de Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Las siguientes paginas fueron escritas por Garcia Marquez como prologo de la coleccion de novelas de Simenon editada por Tusquets. las he incluido aqui porque constituyen un resumido ejemplo de la tecnica narrativa de Gabo, y ademas supongo que dificil de encontrar el el otro lado del oceano. Para leerlas, necesitaras un WWW browser capaz de visualizar GIFs incluidos en el texto (por ejemplo, NCSA Mosaic). Me habria agradado hacer una version mejor editada, pero no cuento con autorizacion ni de Gabo ni de Bea para realizarla, asi que me he limitado a realizar una copia "no editable" exclusivamente con proposito cientifico. Si alguien sabe el email de gabo o el de Tusquets, siempre puedo mandarles una nota para preguntar si me dejan preparar una version mas decente. Nota: Yo no tengo ninguna conexion con Gabo ni con sus editoriales, asi que lamentablemente no puedo ayudar a la gente que escribe pidiendo informacion de contactos, etc. y que ultimamente son muchos. agradeceria que si alguien tiene paginas mas vivas sobre el tema, que me lo indique para poner un mini-catalogo

Magical Realism
"Magical realism expands the categorizes of the real so as to encompass myth, magic and other extraordinary phenomena in Nature or experience which European realism excluded" ( eds. Bernard McGuirk and Richard Cardwell, 45). "He's an angel," she told them. "He must have been coming for the child, but the poor fellow is so old that the rain knocked him down" (204). "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" demonstrates Marquez's ability to tell a fairy tale or folk tale in a realistic manner while incorporating the magic of the angel. The angel is the catalyst for the family's recovery from destitution. Before the arrival of the angel, they are a simple, poor family with a dying son. Once the angel is captured, the son recovers and the family uses the angel for financial gain. Marquez shows us true human nature. An incredible being falls to the Earth and the humans use it to make a fast buck. Eventually, the family grows to resent the angel and they wish it would vanish. Instead of the simplistic, happy ending of the ordinary fairy tale, the characters are allowed to exploit Nature until it flies off without a word. Consequently, the angel is never allowed to fulfill his destiny which was to take the soul of the dying child.

Biography of Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1928- )
Gabriel Jose Garcia Marquez was born on March 6, 1928 to Luisa Santiaga Marquez Iguaran and Gabriel Eligio Garcia in Aracataca, Columbia. Luisa's parents did not approve of her marriage to Gabriel and Marquez, the oldest of twelve children, was sent to live with his maternal grandparents. On December 6, in the Cienaga train station, between 9 and 3,000 striking banana workers were shot and killed by troops from Antioquia. The incident was officially forgotten and omitted from Colombian history textbooks. Although Marquez was still a baby, this event was to have a profound effect on his writing. When Marquez was eight years old, his grandfather died. At that time it was also clear that his grandmother, who was going blind, was increasingly helpless. He was sent to live with his parents and siblings, who he barely knew, in Sucre. A bright pupil, he won scholarships to complete his secondary education at the Colegio Nacional. There he discovered literature and admired a group of poets called the piedra y cielo ("stone and sky"). This group included Eduardo Carranza, Jorge Rojas, and Aurelio Arturo and their literary grandfathers were Juan Ramon Jimenez and Pablo Neruda. In 1946, Marquez entered law school at the National University of Bogota. There he began reading Kafka and publishing his first short stories in leading Liberal newspapers.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Final Farewell
During the summer of 1999 Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of such classics as One Hundred Years of Solitude, was treated for lymphatic cancer. Since that time there have been persistent rumors about his failing health.
On May 29, 2000 these rumors appeared to be confirmed when a poem that was signed with his name appeared in the Peruvian daily La Republica. The poem was titled "La Marioneta" or "The Puppet," and it was reportedly a farewell poem that Garcia Marquez had written and sent out to his closest friends on account of his worsening condition.
The text of the poem, as well as the news of Garcia Marquez's worsening condition, quickly spread to other newspapers. On May 30 Mexico City dailies reproduced it. La Cronica ran a headline that read "Gabriel Garcia Marquez sings a song to life," and published the poem superimposed on a photo of the novelist on its front page. The poem was also read on many radio stations and spread quickly throughout the world via the internet.
The poem itself was highly sentimental and full of cliches that one would not have normally expected from the great writer. For instance, the poem declared at one point the author's desire to "live in love with love." (the entire text of the poem, translated into English, can be found at the bottom of the page).
