CABELLO PINO, Manuel. The influence of Cervantes in El amor en los tiempos del cólera [Love in times of cholera]. La Palabra [online]. 2015, n.26, pp.47-58. ISSN 0121-8530.

Comparison between Cervantes' Don Quixote and García Márquez's Cien años de soledad [One Hundred Years of Solitude] has been a frequent point in studies about García Márquez, since the publication of this last novel in 1967. However, the relationship between Cervantes' classic and the other great novel by García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera, has not called so much attention. This is why we set out to make this study, which fulfills this critical lack, at least in partially. In this sense we will focus mainly on two aspects: similarities between the characters of Don Quixote and Florentino Ariza, in their crazy/sane condition, and the parodic use that both novels make of the topics of two literary genres: chivalry books and love literature.

Keywords : Cervantes; García Márquez; intertextuality; parody; literary topics.
