The ironic vision and luminous evocation of South America that havedistinguished Garcia Marquez's Nobel Prize-winning fiction sincehis landmark work, One Hundred Years of Solitude, persist in thisturn-of-the-century chronicle of a unique love triangle. It is afully mature novel in scope and perspective, flawlessly translated,as rich in ideas as in humanity. The illustrious and meticulous Dr.Juvenal Urbino and his proud, stately wife Fermina Daza,respectively past 80 and 70, are in the autumn of their solidmarriage as the drama opens on the suicide of the doctor's chesspartner. Jeremiah de Saint-Amour, a disabled photographer ofchildren, chooses death over the indignities of old age, revealingin a letter a clandestine love affair, on the "fringes of a closedsociety's prejudices." This scenario not only heralds Urbino'sdemise soon afterwhen he falls out of a mango tree in an attempt tocatch an escaped parrotbut brilliantly presages the novel's centralthemes, which are as concerned with the renewing capacity of age aswith an anatomy of love. We meet Florentino Ariza, more antiherothan hero, a mock Don Juan with an undertaker's demeanor, at oncepathetic, grotesque and endearing, when he seizes the memorablyunseemly occasion of Urbino's funeral to reiterate to Fermina thevow of love he first uttered more than 50 years before. With thefine detailing of a Victorian novel, the narrative plunges backwardin time to reenact their earlier, youthful courtship of furtiveletters and glances, frustrated when Fermina, in the light ofawaking maturity, realizes Florentino is an adolescent obsession,and rejects him.

than hero, a mock Don Juan with an undertaker's demeanor, at once
pathetic, grotesque and endearing, when he seizes the memorably
unseemly occasion of Urbino's funeral to reiterate to Fermina the
vow of love he first uttered more than 50 years before. With the
fine detailing of a Victorian novel, the narrative plunges backward

From Library Journal 
While delivering a message to her father, Florentino Ariza spots
the barely pubescent Fermina Daza and immediately falls in love.
What follows is the story of a passion that extends over 50 years,
as Fermina is courted solely by letter, decisively rejects her
suitor when he first speaks, and then joins the urbane Dr. Juvenal
Urbino, much above her station, in a marriage initially loveless
but ultimately remarkable in its strength. Florentino remains
faithful in his fashion; paralleling the tale of the marriage is
that of his numerous liaisons, all ultimately without the depth of
love he again declares at Urbino's death. In substance and style
not as fantastical, as mythologizing, as the previous works, this
is a compelling exploration of the myths we make of love. Highly
recommended. Barbara Hoffert, "Library Journal"

内容简介

In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs——yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.
