Love In Times Of Anger
(Gabriel Garcia Marquez)

Translation by: femme/600/4 September 2005
The writer par excellence of magic realism, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, succeeds in capturing with this book a beautiful story that revolves around the mad perserverance of a frustrated love. Florentino Ariza has fallen into the trap of love at the age of eighteen. He becomes obsessed with Fermina Daza, a haughty and beautiful young girl whom he sees pass by one day on her way to the high school. After overcoming her resistance, and thanks to the complicity of Fermina's aunt, a courtship is initiated with letters and serenades from which a platonic relationship is born since the rigid social norms and Fermina's arrogant pride impede any physical contact between the lovers.
Once her father finds out about this, Fermina Daza is forced to take a trip to visit her cousin Hildebrand for a long stay. In this way, she will be kept at a distance from Florentino. But he works in the telegraph office which allows him to locate her and keep in touch. When Fermina Daza returns after a long absence, the idealized image of her suitor is confronted by the real man and his deception, causing her to leave him without an explanation. Months later, she marries Doctor Juvenal Urbino and makes her entrance into high society, distancing herself even more from the insignificant man whom she exalted in her dreams and believed herself to be in love with.
Florentino devotes fifty years to becoming a man worthy of Fermina's love. His iron will leads him to become the manager of the Caribbean River Company which is a very important position in the city. His life is reduced to viewing from afar that which the passing of the years has brought about in the life of Fermina Daza, spilling out his passion into unstable relationships, and expressing his feverish love through letters that he writes for his mission of love. A single thought gives him encouragement-the certainty that Juvenal Urbino will die someday and that he will do so before he does.
That day arrives. Juvenal Urbino has died and another chance opens up for Florentino Ariza. He has changed into a pleasing man of culture and with renewed fire takes up the expression of his devotion again with letters that are even more passionate than those of his youth and that are aimed at stealing through Fermina's old, hardened heart.
This is a very beautiful story that portrays the tenacious perserverance of a love that clings to hope and lasts until death. With his masterful style, Gabriel Garcia Marquez sends us on a magical journey to Cartagena at the beginning of the twentieth century and carries us from the splendor to decadence, from youth to old age, and from the longing for someone to reality along an interesting trajectory through the recesses of the city and the hearts of its inhabitants with its crude and, at the same time, poetic realism.
