Abstract
The two male protagonists of García Márquez's novel, Dr. Urbino and Florentino Ariza (whose lives are linked by their relationship to Fermina Daza), enact to the limit nineteenth century ideologies of scientific progress and romanticism. The anachronistic plot of romantic love taken to the point of parody is deployed by the author as a critique of fin de siècle modernity.
Keywords: García Márquez, ideology, science, romanticism, anachronistic, fin de siècle, modernity, marginality, Colombian literature
