"El amor en los tiempos de colera"

I'm reading a book of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "Love in the times of Cholera" (邦題:「コレラの時代の愛」).

Gabirel Garcia Marquez is definitely one of my favorite writers. I enjoy his view of the world full of colors, especially his observations and depictions of the world around the characters are just astonishing. Definitely the theme of the books may differ, but I feel sometihng similar when I read books of another favorite writer of mine, Kenzaburo Oe.

But hey, it takes as long as 21 years for the book to be tranlated into Japanese! Well, the book itself was originally published of course in Spanish in 1985. If I have to wait so long to read good books written in foreign languages, that alone gives a good reason to study foreign languages. If you can wait, you can expect some good translations, especially the translations for the top class writers'books. For this, the translation version of Garcia Marquez is of course magnificant. I've started reading in Japanese first and I can still feel the breath and the dinamism of the writer.

Thesedays, I'm much interested in the romance of elderly people, something that has been hidden and ignored from society. Okay so I'm just in my twenties and I AM in the age that society recognizes that we SHOULD be in love. Well, why only us?
