Rendition Concering Books Of Love and Other Demons

On her twelfth birthday, Sierva Maria, the only child of a decaying noble family in an eighteenth-century South American seaport, is bitten by a rabid dog. Believed to be possessed, she is brought to a convent for observation. And into her cell stumbles Father Cayetano Delaura, who has already dreamed about a girl with hair trailing after her like a bridal train. As he tends to her with holy water and sacramental oils, Delaura feels something shocking begin to occur. He has fallen in love, and it isn't long until Sierva Maria joins him in his fevered misery.

Unsettling and indelible, Of Love and Other Demons is an evocative, majestic tale of the most universal experiences known to woman and man.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books Of Love and Other Demons

No South American writer is able to evoke the fecund and febrile atmosphere of South America, the exaggerated and over-the-top emotions of love, as the characters are engulfed in the flames of passion which reflect the headiness of the atmosphere, succumbing deliriously to the cornucopia of emotions which overtake them."Of Love and Other Demons" is far from being Marquez's greatest work; it meanders towards the end as the reader feels that most of the characters are pale regurgitation of his

English (Of Love and Other Demons) / ItalianoAn ash-gray dog with a white blaze on its forehead burst onto the rough terrain of the market on the first Sunday in December, knocked down tables of fried food, overturned Indians' stalls and lottery kiosks, and bit four people who happened to cross its path. Three of them were black slaves. The fourth, Sierva María de todos Los Àngeles, the only child of the Marquis de Casalduero, had come there with a mulatta servant to buy a string of bells for

I recently watched the movie version of this book, and I did not love it, mostly because I only understand the most rudimentary of Spanish and the movie's English subtitles were horrible. Regardless, I still bawled like a baby, because Of Love and Other Demons is one of the most, if not the most, tragic story I've ever had the pleasure of reading.Of Love and Other Demons is the story of a pre-teen girl Sierva Maria, her affliction which is mistaken as demon possession and her days with Father

This was not the first book of Marquez's that I have read. I read Love in the Time of Cholera when I was in my late teens. I found it so utterly surreal and unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I wasn't sure if I liked it, precisely, but I knew that I wanted more. I was gripped by it, possessed by it, which was not quite the same experience as 'liking' a novel, exactly.The next one I picked up after that was this one. Of Love and Other Demons. I can safely say that I felt the same way

Instead of writing a review by jotting down my bleak understanding of the glorious book by Gabo I thought of weaving a little tale based on it and using the characters along with the principle symbolism in the book- 'Disbelief is more resistant than faith because it is sustained by the senses' As always I,Father Delaura lost focus and stumbled on my way to the Bishop's room where I was invited to witness an eclipse. In the cloistered silence I found the bishop in a pensive mood holding a

'Disbelief is more resistant than faith because it is sustained by the senses.''The Enemy makes better use of our intelligence than of our errors.''Dominga de Adviento, a black women, believed in two religions at the same time because what she did not find in one faith was there in the other.''Dulce Olivia found consolation in nostalgia of her unrequited love.' Once I was speaking to my room-mate. I told him about the helplessness of people in India ... Sometimes their senses are so raped by the

Really incredible!This was only a very short book but every sentence was really beautiful and I just took my time to savour every word.I'm not sure what magical realism is but it this is magical realism then I love it!!!!Not only did Marques write amazing prose but he was also a great storyteller.Have read a good few of his books but now must read them all!
