Gabriel García Márquez, an outstanding Nobel Prize–winning writer, is among the most celebrated prose stylists of the last century. An almost imperceptible boundary between the real and imaginary worlds, the distinctive color of Colombian prose, and a deep immersion into questions of our existence—these are the main ingredients of Márquez’s magical realism.
“Love in the Time of Cholera” — is one of the best works by the author, where under the “external layer” of cold realism lies the “internal layer” of the narrative—a dark, Márquez-like, spirited parable.
