Love in the Time of Cholera (Commemorative Edition) by García Márquez
Enjoying Garcia Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera, this book is a classic book that deserves time to read and enjoy.
Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude", of course, is also a classic that must not be read, rather than liking Márquez's style, it is better to say that the author's writing level and depth of thought, as well as the understanding of human nature have been universally respected and recognized, as if it were a beacon in the night, let people read it, suddenly enlightened.
By chance, I came into contact with "Solbello's Collection of Short Stories", turned a few pages, and was attracted by the author's timeless philosophy and rich logic, the story was still average, but it was precisely in the general plot that fascinating, addictive spiritual guidance and thinking inspiration, it was really like a treasure, first seen and hated late, so, under the constraints of tight funds, I entered Solbello's other works one by one.
On January 12, 2022, the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Tianjin entered a critical period, and the people of the city uniformly carried out two or even three rounds of nucleic acid testing.
During the stay at home, after reading this "True Feelings", a book written by the author at the age of 82, the thought is more profound, permeated with a deep understanding of the nature of human beings and the ultimate concern for the fate of mankind, involving many major ideological themes in the West in the late twentieth century - materialism, capitalism, existentialism, nihilism and postmodernism.
"It is a mature sublimation of all of the author's works: it is a sparkling gem that condenses the themes and ideas of the novels he has written over the past fifty years." —The New York Times
The book, very thin, less than a hundred pages, would soon be read.
In my opinion, the thrust of the writing is somewhat similar to Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera.
The story of the book, aside;
The writing style of this book is also very ordinary.
However, under the author's profound skill, the fragrance and meaning revealed are enlightening and beneficial.
Well worth reading and savoring.
I hope that friends who have read this book can communicate and taste together.
