Love in the Time of Cholera

Fifty-one years, nine months and four days have passed since Fermina Daza rebuffed hopeless romantic Florentino Ariza's impassioned advances and married Dr Juvenal Urbino instead. During that half-century, Flornetino has fallen into the arms of many delighted women, but has loved none but Fermina.

Au trecut cincizeci si unu de ani, noua luni si patru zile de cand Fermina Daza a respins avansurile pasionale ale romanticului fara speranta Florentino Ariza si s-a casatorit in schimb cu doctorul Juvenal Urbino. In acea jumatate de secol, Flornetino a cazut in bratele multor femei incantate, dar nu a iubit-o pe nimeni decat pe Fermina.
