Gabriel García Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera, masterfully translated by Edith Grossman, is a captivating exploration of desire and the enduring nature of love. This Penguin Modern Classics edition invites readers to unravel the complexities of human emotions.
At the heart of this tale is Florentino Ariza, a man consumed by an unrequited passion for the exquisite Fermina Daza. When she opts to wed the esteemed physician Juvenal Urbino, Florentino is left to nurture his devotion in silence. For over half a century, he clings to the hope of rekindling their connection. Then, in an unexpected turn of events, Fermina's husband passes away, presenting Florentino with a second chance at love. Will his unwavering dedication finally bear fruit?
García Márquez, a Colombian literary giant and Nobel laureate, weaves a rich tapestry of human experience. His prose, at once sensual and profound, celebrates the myriad forms of love with a touch of magical realism. This novel stands as a testament to the author's unparalleled ability to suspend reality and immerse readers in the timeless narrative of human relationships.
For those enchanted by Love in the Time of Cholera, García Márquez's magnum opus, One Hundred Years of Solitude, awaits your discovery in the Penguin Modern Classics collection.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
