In medical parlance,Cholera is also known as "the father of public health" because it was this very epidemic that was studied, identified and traced in terms of person, place and time by John Snow British physician not the Game of thrones guy! In the mid eighteenth century.
Whoever knew a love story of a lifetime could be spun around this water borne disease! I am no stranger to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's previous work with his characteristic style of narrative that blurs lines between reality and fantasy"A hundred years of solitude".
"Love in the time of cholera" much like rest of Marquez's works is based on a fictional Colombian town in the times when cholera encased most of the world in its ruthless grip.
The story spans across the innocent teenage years of the protagonists, the divinely beautiful 'Fernina Daza' who enamours a young hopeless romantic 'Florentino Ariza' who pursues the lady consistently throughout his life untill ripe old age.
And then there's the prominent character 'Dr Juvenal Urbino' who wins over Fernina with his charm and status only to marry her and have a thriving family with her.
Cholera features every once in a while in the story with Infirmeries over burdened and dying sick patients, to giving scares of cholera to the female protagonist acting as a cupid in between her and Dr Urbino.
There's abundant magical realism in the story with a talking parrot and other creatures described with unforgettable humour characteristic of Marquez, The social commentary and description of poverty and cholera is quite vivid, Florentino's unshakable devotion towards his lady love, who even refuses to recognize his existence is quite tragic to read, Florentino has an interesting journey filled with self discovery of all kinds,where he goes onto become a rich man only to be worthy of Fernina reminds me of "the great Gatsby".
He let's her life take it's course, and patiently waits foryears he uses exact day and hour too! to propose her at her husband's funeral! This one is indeed a timeless fascinating tale of love! A sentimental story about the enduring power of love as the critics rightly put it.
