El amor en los tiempos del cólera
📘 About This Book
Duas histórias há neste livro. Uma delas, apenas esboçada, é a de um amor secreto que culmina na morte escolhida por um homem que quis salvar-se das tempestades da memória. A outra história é a de um amor que faz desses tormentos o seu alimento. Um amor acossado pelos inimigos: a deterioração física, a velhice, a morte. Uma rapariga de dezoito anos rejeita o homem de quem tem estado apaixonada e com quem a impediram de se unir. Um desejo enraizado em si mesmo, que avança
📖 Resumo
Gabriel Garcia Marquez presents a profound exploration of romance, time, and human endurance in his celebrated 1985 novel, published originally as El amor en los tiempos del colera. At its heart, the narrative intertwines two distinct yet resonant threads of affection and loss. One of these threads, softly sketched in the background, follows a secret romance that tragically culminates in a chosen death, undertaken by a man desperate to shield himself from the relentless and painful storms of memory. The second, more expansive chronicle tracks a radically different kind of passion, one that actively feeds upon those very same tormenting recollections rather than fleeing from them. This central narrative focuses on a relentless devotion stalked by the ultimate adversaries of human existence: physical deterioration, the steady march of old age, and the finality of death. A young woman of eighteen ultimately rejects the man she has long harbored deep feelings for, turning away from someon
