Gabriel García Márquez, Gregory Rabassa (Translator)
Telling the story of a man whose love goes unrequited for 50 years before being recognized, this aching but mildly humorous title is the type of book that people recommend with the type of passion it chronicles. The New York Times Books of the Century list, in addition to calling it a top love story, says it is "shining and heartbreaking."
