Love in the time of cholera

About the book He saw her for the first time on a day when he was tasked with delivering a telegram to a person with no clear address named Lorentho Datha, father of Veramina. After completing the delivery, Florentino Ariza realized there was someone else in the house, and as he passed by the sewing room, he saw through the window an elderly woman and a girl sitting on two adjacent chairs, both of whom were reading from the same book that the woman was holding open in her lap. But the girl lifted her gaze to see who was passing through the window, and this fleeting look was the origin of a love catastrophe that has not ended even after half a century. The novel "Love in the Time of Cholera" was published in 1985, and at the moment of its publication, it marked a qualitative shift in the view of romantic relationships within literary works from being a cheap literary commodity aimed at stirring readers' emotions, to an invaluable artistic and literary value that cannot be easily dispensed with. A large segment of critics now believe in the ability of romantic novels to endure for a long time and their capacity to create a strong impact on emotional relationships when they treat love as a supreme value that dominates individuals' lives, accompanying them on the long journey of life to enjoy the magic and torments of love.
