Love in cholera period: known as "the greatest love novel in human history"

"An honest lifestyle is actually doing what your body wants to do, eating when you are hungry, and not lying when you love." Marquez said.

Love in Cholera is the first novel published by Garcí a Má rquez after he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. It tells a love epic that spans more than half a century and exhausts all possible love: loyalty, secrecy, rudeness, shyness, Platonism, debauchery, fleeting, and life and death.

Marquez said, "Love in the cholera period is my best work, and it is my heartfelt creation."

This novel is not so much a love history as a great waiting history. I met at the age of 20 and fell madly in love. Because I was too young, I separated without warning. Half a century later, they met again. The man said, "For this day, I waited for 53 years and 7 months 1 1 day. Only God knows how much I love you! "

At the beginning, the author tells the trivial daily life of Fermin Na Dasa and her husband Dr. urbino by flashback. They will quarrel over a bar of soap. But not long after Dr. urbino appeared, he died because he caught a parrot and fell off a ladder.

Then another man appeared at the funeral, florentino Ariza. Only after reading this can I know that he is the real hero of this novel.

When florentino Ariza met Fermin Dasa for the first time, his casual glance became the source of this earth-shattering love that has not ended half a century later. From then on, florentino Ariza fell in love.

He wrote love letters to Ming Na crazily. Although he can't get a response from the other side in most cases, he always remembers what his mother said to him: "While you are still young, make good use of this opportunity and try your best to taste all the pain. This kind of thing will never happen. "

Finally, Fermin was moved by Ariza's talent and true feelings. One is a postman, and the other is a noble lady. They came together in spite of secular opposition.

Meanwhile, Fermin's father tried his best to break them up, but they both gave up on each other.

But they haven't seen each other several times in recent years, mainly by correspondence, and the other party is mostly fantasy beautification in their eyes.

After more than a year, when they met again, Fermin suddenly understood how such a phantom could occupy her heart for so long. She told herself that she and Ariza were just an illusion. Then Fermin resolutely rejected his pursuit.

Love at first sight is beautiful and romantic, but if two people have no real contact and mutual understanding, can they still stand the test of reality and continue to care about each other in the plain life of daily necessities?

Time is the best answer.

Even so, Ariza never gave up the pursuit of love. He identified a person and spent his whole life practicing his promise, even if she was married, even if her face was wrinkled, even if she had been waiting for her for fifty-three years, seven months and eleven days.

Even after learning the news of Fei and his marriage, he still felt that he would marry Fei Ming one day, so he decided to watch and wait quietly.

Every time he meets her, he can accurately see her recent changes, from body shape and dressing to mental state and emotional changes, he can accurately read her hidden emotions. But he never bothered her.

"The love of the soul is above the waist, and the love of the body is below the waist." He gave the love of his soul and body to these lonely women, but he never really loved them.

If you don't love, don't bother, don't possess. Many of us may not understand this indulgence.

This book explains it this way: Because Ariza is superstitious that in many lover relationships, constantly satisfying his own physiological goals will make him full of energy and not get old, and make him believe that he can finally wait until the moment of combining with Fermin.

In order to meet you again in a real sense one day, I would like to be a better self. As the book says: "People are not born immutable. On the contrary, life will force them to be born again and again. "

So is he. He was the chairman and general manager of the Caribbean River Shipping Company in its heyday, and he became a promising young, strong and handsome gentleman. All this comes from that unforgettable decision, that is, to live healthily until that day comes, which is in harmony with Fermin's soul.

After Fermin's husband died, florentino Ariza didn't force Fermin to accept him, but slowly enlightened her like a wise elder, went to see her with a white rose in his hand, and sat leisurely together for afternoon tea. The two seem to have regained their enthusiasm and sincerity for love.

At the end of the novel, florentino ariza wrote a long letter to Fermin Na. On the surface, it looks like a love letter, but in fact it is his thinking based on his own ideal and experience of the relationship between men and women. For her, this is a self-portrayal of life, love, aging and death.

"Love at any age is reasonable." Half a century later, the two old people are no longer young, but they don't want to miss each other again because of their youth and secular prejudice.

As Fermin said: "A century ago, people ruined my life and that of this poor man, because we were too young; Now, they want to repeat the same trick on us because we are too old! "

"But now they all go to hell!"

Half a century later, they ushered in a trip that only belonged to them.

"Hell, when do you think we go back and forth like this?" Asked the captain.

Fifty-three years, seven months and eleven days, day and night, Ariza has prepared the answer.

"For life!" He said.

Time is the best proof. I love you. I'm definitely not just saying.

How long can you wait for love?

How many fifty-three years, seven months and eleven days are there in our life?

Marquez can really be called a master writer. Just listening to the title of Love in Cholera makes you feel beautiful. After reading it, you really don't want to read any other love novels.

Marquez, the author of Love in Cholera Period, is based on life, but it is higher than life, and its value has far exceeded love itself.

The love history of three people shows us two completely different love patterns. The former is the passionate love between florentino Ariza and Fermina, and the latter is the secular and stable love between Fermina and her husband.

Combining with her husband Fermina, I found that she only provided secular benefits: safety, harmony and happiness. Once these things are added together, they look like love, but they are almost equal to love. But they are not love after all. Moreover, Dr. urbino also told Fermina: "You should remember from a distance that the most important thing for a loving couple is not happiness, but stability."

Fermin herself admitted that she had been happy with her husband, but it was not love after all.

Some people have commented that the former is passion rather than imagination, while the latter is reason rather than secularity. Between the two, the writer Marquez has little tendency.

The story of this novel takes place during the cholera period. In the novel, Marquez gives cholera a symbolic meaning-love. Because cholera can kill people, it can also make people understand the preciousness of life and inspire more tenacious vitality.

Gabriel Garcí a Má rquez refers to love with the frightening cholera, which seems to tell people that love is sweet, but it tortures people and makes life worse than death. But without such a test of life and death, you can't get true love.

Liang Wendao, a famous literary critic, said, "Love is a disease. For Ariza, the love disease created by this literary fantasy has never been cured, so he persistently waited for 5 1 year for 9 months and 4 days. "

But he never regretted it, because he waited for fifty-three years, seven months and eleven days, and he also understood what true love needed.

Need two people together is relaxed and happy, no pressure, but also understand that love at any age is reasonable.

This book is called "the greatest love novel in human history"-love in cholera period, in which the title page reads "Nature, this book is dedicated to Mercedes-Benz", the author's wife.

We can't help sighing about the author's greatness. Marquez said: Without his wife, he wouldn't be so comfortable creating.

Language is scarce, and classics need us to read and ponder carefully. The above is just my personal opinion, and the real understanding needs us to read it carefully in person.
