«El maleficio» is the French novel by Jean Lorrain, published by Alfaguara in hardback (304 pages, in Spanish).
Set in 19th-century Paris, the story moves through the city's most sordid neighbourhoods, between mystery and decadence. Lorrain's elegant, enveloping prose portrays marginal environments and extreme passions with a serial-novel air.
It belongs to Alfaguara's Clásicos Modernos collection, published on 22 October 2004. The cover combines a period illustration with a page from the newspaper Le Matin.
For readers of classic French fiction and literary fiction with dark atmospheres and marginal characters.
Jean Lorrain, born Paul Alexandre Martin Duval, was a French poet and novelist of the Symbolist school.
