‘Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther….And one fine morning-----
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.’

Unlike some of his slightly claustrophobic works, this novel has an almost epic quality and Garcia Marquez handles the shifts in time and character perfectly; from the opening lines you know you're in the hands of a master. The book is flawless: Not one word is out of place, not one sentence is awkward. Lesser authors might slip into the maudlin when writing an entire book on the many aspects of love, but Garcia Marquez never gives us less than crystalline insight into what it really means to live, to love and to live a life of love. The last chapter alone is a masterpiece no one who's loved, or loved and lost, will ever forget.
I think a lot of online reviewers of this book don't realize that this book is not only about the relationship of Fermina and Florentino. The book is about love in all of its forms, and the characters in the book exist as vehicles to examine the strangest and most powerful of all human emotions. Love in the Time of Cholera is about: unrequited love、 marital love、platonic love、angry love、jealous love 、young love、dangerous love、adulterous love、love from afar 、elderly love、May-December love,the relationship between sex、age、 society、art、death and love.

最后一晚,在看完加西亚·马尔克斯的长篇小说《霍乱时期的爱情》(Love in the Time of Cholera)后半部分的过程中我一共使用了两种姿势:躺在床上,和靠在沙发上。非常令我惊奇的是,无论如何,当我缓缓站起来时,都会感到暂时的贫血性头晕。这在我20年的读书生涯中从未发生过,至少在这两种姿势下从未发生过。实际上我也吃了晚饭。
