Gabriel Garcia Marquez – Love in the Time of Cholera – First Edition 1988
£185.00
First UK edition, first printing. Published by Jonathan Cape in London, 1988. This is a very good copy. The dust wrapper is sunned at the spine though has not been price clipped, showing the original £11.95 net price. The boards are tight and free from notable marks. The text blocks are a little spotting with page edges a little wavy. Internally free from inscriptions. Overall, this is a very good (or better) copy of a fine title.
The story occurs mainly in an unnamed port city somewhere near the Caribbean Sea and the Magdalena River in Colombia. While the city remains unnamed throughout the novel, descriptions and names of places suggest it is based on an amalgam of Cartagena and the nearby city of Barranquilla. The fictional city is divided into such sections as “The District of the Viceroys” and “The Arcade of the Scribes”. The novel takes place approximately between 1880 and the early 1930s. From the Nobel Prize winning author.
