«Del amor y otros demonios» is the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (170 pages, in Spanish).
Set in an eighteenth-century South American port city, it tells the story of Sierva María, a twelve-year-old girl bitten by a rabid dog, and of Cayetano Delaura, the priest sent to exorcise her. The encounter between them leads to an impossible love that defies the social and religious conventions of the time, in a work with elements of magical realism and a denunciation of superstition.
Recommended for readers of Latin American literature and fans of Gabriel García Márquez, as well as for those seeking a tragic love story.
