“Una novela rica y expansiva cuyo poder narrativo sólo compite con la generosidad de su visión”. —The New York Times
“Una historia de amor de increķble fuerza y delicioso sentido del humor ... humana, llena de comicidad, de gran impulso emotivo: en fin, extraordinaria”. —Newsweek
“El mayor placer, como en todos los libros de Garcķa Mįrquez, es la misteriosa pero siempre convincente suspensión de las normas de la realidad ... una gran historia humana, despreocupada del tiempo, contada por uno de los mįs evocadores escritores de este siglo”. —Anne Tyler, Chicago Sun-Times Book Week
“Revolucionario en su atrevimiento al sugerir que las promesas de amor hechas con la presunción de durar toda la vida —idiotez juvenil para algunos— pueden ser honradas muchos ańos mįs tarde, cuando deberķamos haber adquirido mįs sabidurķa, al enfrentarnos con lo innegable ... Un libro brillante y desgarrador”. —Thomas Pynchon, New York Times
De jóvenes, Florentino Ariza y Fermina Daza se enamoran apasionadamente, pero Fermina eventualmente decide casarse con un médico rico y de muy buena familia. Florentino estį anonadado, pero es un romįntico. Su carrera en los negocios florece, y aunque sostiene 622 pequeńos romances, su corazón todavķa pertenece a Fermina. Cuando al fin el esposo de ella muere, Florentino acude al funeral con toda intención. A los cincuenta ańos, nueve meses y cuatro dķas de haberle profesado amor a Fermina, lo harį una vez mįs.
Con sagacidad humorķstica y depurado estilo, Garcķa Mįrquez traza la historia excepcional de un amor que no ha sido correspondido por medio siglo. Aunque nunca parece estar propiamente contenido, el amor fluye a través de la novela de mil maneras ?alegre, melancólico, enriquecedor, siempre sorprendente.
