Barnes & Noble is launching a book recommendation program, the Rediscovered Classic, designed "to bring beloved classic titles back to the forefront of readers' minds," according to Jackie De Leo, v-p, bookstore, at B&N.
The program's first selection is Love in the Time of Cholera by Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez, first published in Spanish in 1985 and in English in the U.S. in 1988. De Leo said that the novel "follows the story of Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza and their circuitous, half-century long path of love and heartbreak. It is a gorgeous book that explores all stages of love, and one that merits revisiting--or visiting for the first time."
