About the author
Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez
920听books39.8k听followersGabriel Jos茅 de la Concordia Garc铆颅a M谩rquez was a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter and journalist. Garc铆颅a M谩rquez, familiarly known as "Gabo" in his native country, was considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. In 1982, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
He studied at the University of Bogot谩 and later worked as a reporter for the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and as a foreign correspondent in Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Caracas, and New York. He wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best-known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled as magical realism, which uses magical elements and events in order to explain real experiences. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo, and most of them express the theme of solitude.
Having previously written shorter fiction and screenplays, Garc铆a M谩rquez sequestered himself away in his Mexico City home for an extended period of time to complete his novel Cien a帽os de soledad, or One Hundred Years of Solitude, published in 1967. The author drew international acclaim for the work, which ultimately sold tens of millions of copies worldwide. Garc铆a M谩rquez is credited with helping introduce an array of readers to magical realism, a genre that combines more conventional storytelling forms with vivid, layers of fantasy.
Another one of his novels, El amor en los tiempos del c贸lera (1985), or Love in the Time of Cholera, drew a large global audience as well. The work was partially based on his parents' courtship and was adapted into a 2007 film starring Javier Bardem. Garc铆a M谩rquez wrote seven novels during his life, with additional titles that include El general en su laberinto (1989), or The General in His Labyrinth, and Del amor y otros demonios (1994), or Of Love and Other Demons.

Wild!
Colombia, 18th century. Twelve-year-old Sierva Maria de Todos Los Angeles is, among many bystanders in the street, bitten by a rabid dog. The alarms setting off when several of the victims start dying. Estranged daughter of the dissimilar Marquis Ignacio and his devilish wife Bernarda, the youngling was mostly abandoned and practically raised by the house slaves. Her wild behavior and strange african speech sparking increasing concern of the medic and local authorities. Are her troubling antics just traits of an atypically raised child, or the onsetting symptoms of a maddening incurable disease?
Quite possibly along with Chronicle of a Death Foretold, one of the best works of Garcia Marquez I鈥檝e read so far. I especially enjoyed the sad and tragic backstories of Ignacio, Bernarda and Judas Iscariote. Didn鈥檛 particularly enjoy much the last part in the Convent of Santa Clara and Father Cayetano to be honest; but that scene with the hair鈥� Jeez! That was really something.
I鈥檓 positive I鈥檝e read this book more than a decade ago and, re-skimming it today, I find again the reasons I enjoyed it so much then, and now. You can always count on good old Gabo, the almighty father of magical realism, to tell you a profoundly bittersweet tragic story that will perpetually endure within your memory for years and years to come, if not forever. Recommendable.
*** I hardly remember anything about the movie (2009). I watched it more than a decade ago and rated it 4 stars on IMDB, so I guess that explains why it doesn鈥檛 ring a bell. It鈥檚 obviously pretty forgettable, and I鈥檓 not subjecting myself to watch it again. One time was enough I think!

This book starts off very slowly and almost slyly, as if someone has started telling a long-winded story and you're really not paying attention, and then, halfway through the story you realize that you're hanging onto every word. If Garcia Marquez explored the metaphor or love as a disease in "Love in the Time of Cholera", then here he centers his story around the metaphor of love as madness and demonic possession. I think the metaphor actually works better than the cholera one. This book feels much simpler than "Love & Cholera" or "100 Years of Solitude", but it's not -- that's just Garcia Marquez's mastery of writing working for you. His writing is so exquisite that it appears effortless, and it feels effortless to read. Also, this book focuses on one incident during a very short period of time and therefore reads very differently than Garcia Marquez's more famous extensive sagas. I think this form shows off his writing even more. One of the other reasons why I particularly liked this book is that I actually liked the main male character, Cayetano Delaura. There's something very sincere and genuine about him. I highly recommend this book -- it's not a long read, and it's a very enjoyable one.

芦An 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 Mar铆a de todos Los 脌ngeles, the only child of the Marquis de Casalduero, had come there with a mulatta servant to buy a string of bells for the celebration of her twelfth birthday禄
Two facts giving rise this novel:
Fact number 1. , when he was still a young fledgling journalist, was sent by his editor-in-chief fishing for information to an ancient cloistered convent because some construction workers were opening few tombs. From one of these vaults 22 meters of auburn hair, still attached at a little female skull. On the gravestone was written: "Sierva Mar铆a de todos Los 脌ngeles". The foreman thought, in contrast to Garc铆a M谩rquez, this was a common event, arguing that human hair could grow up about one centimeter a month.
Fact number 2. The author's grandmother told to little Gabriel the story about a 12-year-old Marquis with long hair to the ground, died because of a bite from a rabid dog, and revered in the Caribbean for her many miracles.
The fictional link between these two episodes led to this little gem of mystery and magic. Obviously, I might add, being Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez!

芦Un cane cenerognolo con una stella sulla fronte irruppe nei budelli del mercato la prima domenica di dicembre, travolse rivendite di fritture, scompigli貌 bancarelle di indios e chioschi della lotteria, e passando morse quattro persone che si trovavano sul suo percorso. Tre erano schiavi negri. L'altra fu Sierva Mar铆a de todos Los 脌ngeles, figlia unica del marchese di Casalduero, che si era recata con una domestica mulatta a comprare una filza di sonagli per la festa dei suoi dodici anni禄
Vi sono due fatti all'origine di questo romanzo:
Fatto numero 1. Un giovane , giornalista alle prime armi, venne mandato in cerca di notizie dal suo caporedattore presso un antico convento di clarisse poich猫 dei muratori stavano vuotando alcune cripte. Da una di queste vennero fuori 22 metri di capelli color rame ancora attaccati ad un piccolo cranio di ragazzina. La lapide diceva: "Sierva Mar铆a de todos Los 脌ngeles". Il capomastro, a differenza dell'autore, reputava questo fosse un fatto piuttosto comune, poich猫 sosteneva che i capelli umani crescessero di un centimetro al mese, anche dopo morti.
Fatto numero 2. La nonna di Garc铆a M谩rquez narrava al piccolo Gabriel la leggenda di una marchesina di dodici anni dai capelli lunghi tanto da toccare terra, morta a causa del morso di un cane rabbioso, e venerata nei Caraibi per i suoi molti miracoli.
La rielaborazione da parte dell'autore di questi episodi ed il loro collegamento romanzato ha portato a questo piccolo gioiello di magia e mistero. Come 猫 ovvio che sia, trattandosi di Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez!

Von der Liebe und anderen Damonen = Del amory otros demonios = Del amar y otros demonios = Of Love and Other Demons, Gabriel Garc铆颅a M谩rquez
The twelve-year-old daughter of the Marquis and his wife Bernarda. Her hair has never been cut, and was promised to the saints when she was born with the umbilical cord around her neck. She was raised by the slaves, fluent in multiple African languages, and familiar with the customs.
In the beginning of the book she is bit by a rabid dog. Even though she shows no signs of rabies, she is subject to multiple "healing" methods, which can be considered torture.
She is sent to the convent of Santa Clara to receive an exorcism, which many people have died from. She receives attention from a priest, Father Cayetano, who is kind to her and initially believes she does not need to be exorcised.
Father Cayetano falls in love with Sierva Maria and declares her his love; he soon begins visiting Sierva in her cell in secret, climbing up from the sewer (that in future is fixed). They eat, sleep, and recite poetry together, even though it does not appear that they are sexually involved.
Later Father Cayetano is sent away to a leper hospital where he hopes to get the disease but never does. Sierva Maria in the meantime is last summoned to be exorcised and she eventually dies 'of love' wondering where Father Cayetano is and after having her hair cut.

The twelve-year-old daughter of the Marquis and his wife Bernarda. Her hair has never been cut, and was promised to the saints when she was born with the umbilical cord around her neck. She was raised by the slaves, fluent in multiple African languages, and familiar with the customs.
In the beginning of the book she is bit by a rabid dog. Even though she shows no signs of rabies, she is subject to multiple "healing" methods, which can be considered torture.
She is sent to the convent of Santa Clara to receive an exorcism, which many people have died from. She receives attention from a priest, Father Cayetano, who is kind to her and initially believes she does not need to be exorcised.
Father Cayetano falls in love with Sierva Maria and declares her his love; he soon begins visiting Sierva in her cell in secret, climbing up from the sewer (that in future is fixed). They eat, sleep, and recite poetry together, even though it does not appear that they are sexually involved.
Later Father Cayetano is sent away to a leper hospital where he hopes to get the disease but never does. Sierva Maria in the meantime is last summoned to be exorcised and she eventually dies 'of love' wondering where Father Cayetano is and after having her hair cut. After her death, her hair magically grows back on her skull.

"Crazy people are not crazy if one accepts their reasoning"
- Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez
I turned to the first page, anticipating what wonders M谩rquez would reveal. Sentence by sentence, I drank in the always-enchanting prose this author has to offer as the story inched along. Then I reached the summit of the first hill and whoosh! Down I went through the bends, turns and loop-de-loops of this captivating story, which centers on the life of a twelve-year-old girl, Sierva Maria.
Set in eighteenth-century South America, the story begins on Sierva鈥檚 name day, when our birthday girl is bitten by a stray dog while strolling the marketplace with her caretaker. The author transported me to a time when the effects of a common illness could be seen as possession and illustrated the fatal outcome that could befall those imagined to have contracted diseases, such as rabies.
Sierva is of noble birth, but her family is on the cusp of ruin. With a mother who wallows in obsessions of her own and a father who can barely take care of himself, the girl is subjected to all manner of voodoo-esque cures. But does she even have rabies? That is the million-dollar question left to the studious priest, Father Cayetano Delaura.
Rich characters grace these pages; could a forbidden love, forged in the fiery pits of exorcism, save our long-haired beauty? And will love conquer all?
Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez鈥檚 writing is delicious - and magical realism is his gift to the reader. Of Love and Other Demons is certainly M谩rquez-lite, and if you were considering dipping your toes into his sumptuous world, this would be a great place to start. At 160 pages, it is a delectable bite of the author鈥檚 extraordinary talent.

鈥淥f love and other demons鈥�, written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (GGM), is a fictional story, constructed around a real event, when a skeleton of an adolescent female with long hair, is discovered from the crypts of a Convent (in Santa Clara). GGM, relates this incident with a legend told to him by his grandmother, about a 12-yr old girl, a miracle worker, believed to have contracted rabies, with her copper long hair continuing to grow post her death! It is a concise plot, a classic work of magical realism, where reality (the excavated skeleton) blends with imagination (the legend) 馃槉
GGM, has astutely, used this blend to unravel layers of love, passion, half-knowledge, ignorance, superstition and much more!!
The story revolves around the 12 yr-old daughter of a noble family of Latin America, who was bitten by a rabid dog in the market.
Sierva Maria, the protagonist adolescent, is raised by her father, Don Ygnacio de Alfaro y Duenas, and her Indian mother, Bernarda de Cabrera, who rejects Sierva, at an early age. She spends her childhood in slave quarters, learning their languages and culture. As a precocious child, she learns to dance before she could speak and drinks rooster鈥檚 blood before breakfast. Being alienated and raised by the slaves, she starts behaving weirdly from the rest of the children of her age. Her father, seeks help of the church, attributing her violent reactions and imbecility, to the contracted rabies!
The bishop regards, rabies to be a sign of demonic possession, and convinces the family to send her to a Convent for exorcism. The exorcist priest in the Convent, Caytano Delauro, falls in love with the girl,
My views-
The plot, focuses on various aspects -
Threading reality with imagination, ingeniously.
Love & passion (wherein, love between the girl and the priest, has been shown as a demonic force)
The dangers of half-knowledge and ignorance, which results in superstitions and prejudices, leading to bounty hatred and intolerance!!
Sierva, represents the clash of two worlds- the colonial power and the African culture of the slaves. She is represented by GGM, as the martyr of the catholic church (A lot of darker shades of the catholic church have been exposed, which I want to skip discussing, though it holds the prime theme in the plot!)
NB-What buzzed my senses, was - a middle-aged man, with a social standing in the church, falling in love with a 12-year adolescent. Maybe, magical realism as a work of art and unpredictability, shouldn鈥檛 be questioned, and the analyst hat , should be dropped-off when picking up such books!
The striking aspect is, for greater part of the novel, whether the protagonist, has actually contracted rabies or not, and the reason of her imbecility, is not disclosed.
Considering all above points, this work of magical realism grabs, 3.75 stars!!

鈥淒emonios de rencor, de intolerancia, de imbecilidad. 隆Es detestable!鈥�AY, s铆鈥� el amor, en un sentido amplio que incluya la pasi贸n y el deseo, puede ser un demonio temible y seductor y devastador y delicioso y corruptor y transgresor, y como tal afectar谩 a varios de los protagonistas de esta gozosa novela. Un poder animal que Garcia Marquez encarna en dos negros: un negro, Judas Iscariote, que provoc贸 la desgracia de Bernarda, madre de Sierva Mar铆a, y una negra, una cautiva abisinia capaz de perturbar a los hombres hasta la locura con su sola desnudez.
Pero este diablo metaf贸rico que todos sabemos que puede ser el amor se convierte aqu铆 en el aut茅ntico Maligno, todo cuernos y rabo, gracias a otros demonios a煤n m谩s peligrosos y detestables: la intolerancia, la imbecilidad y la ignorancia combatida a base de superstici贸n y representados aqu铆 por la Iglesia inquisitorial del siglo XVIII. Unos demonios que atacaron sin piedad a Sierva Mar铆a, criada entre la servidumbre negra y mulata de su padre el marqu茅s, educada en sus tradiciones e idiomas, otra vez la amenaza negra, y que arrastrar谩 a Delaura, el cura cobarde de treinta y seis a帽os enamorado, por primera vez, de una ni帽a de doce.
Solo as铆, en esta lucha contra los dioses y la estupidez humana, puede ser el amor, tal y como nos dice Delaura, el m谩s terrible de todos los demonios, pues ir contra 茅l significa ir contra nuestra propia naturaleza, y eso es algo capaz de pudrirnos por dentro y por fuera. Muchos de los personajes de esta novela est谩n aquejados de esa terrible podredumbre f铆sica y moral que les lleva a ver demonios no solo en todo aquello que no entienden sino tambi茅n en todo aquello que contradice o amenaza sus dogm谩ticos principios o simplemente los ignora. La novela es una diatriba feroz contra todo aquello que se opone a la vida, contra la oscuridad de la superstici贸n, la ignorancia, las rigideces sociales, religiosas, raciales鈥�
鈥溌玌stedes tienen una religi贸n de la muerte que les infunde el valor y la dicha para enfrentarla禄, le dijo. 芦Yo no: creo que lo 煤nico esencial es estar vivo禄.鈥�El relato me ha parecido notable, un ejemplo impecable de la gran literatura del autor, pero entre tanto acierto de la novela hay una afirmaci贸n que no puedo dejar de comentar:
鈥淟a incredulidad persiste m谩s que la fe, porque se sustenta en los sentidos.鈥�No son los sentidos la base m谩s s贸lida para las creencias. Con absoluta coherencia y gran astucia, las religiones, al menos las m谩s extendidas en la actualidad, siempre han repudiado los sentidos, como han repudiado la duda y la raz贸n, siempre perjudiciales para sus negocios, benefici谩ndose de las grandes ventajas que para sus circunstancias tienen el dogma y la fe.
鈥淓l Enemigo se vale mejor de nuestra inteligencia que de nuestros yerros.鈥�Una fe, su necesidad, su fortaleza, que, no obstante, bien puede explicar la raz贸n pues se basa en claras necesidades humanas: la seguridad de la muerte, las penurias de la existencia, nuestro anhelo de inmortalidad, de felicidad junto a los seres queridos que ya no est谩n, de una justicia implacable que por fin castigue las culpas y recompense los m茅ritos. Una fe que se hace inexpugnable ante cualquier ataque, que se blinda herm茅ticamente contra toda raz贸n.

Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez claims in the prologue that he had been told by his grandmother of a legend of "a little twelve-year-old marquise with hair that trailed behind her like a bridal train" who contracts rabies. This girl was an alleged miracle-worker. Years later, when Garc铆a M谩rquez was confronted with the tomb of a similar girl whose copper-colored hair measured twenty-two meters, he decided to write this novel.
I really enjoyed this one in particular. This maybe due to the fact that it is built in dramatic style of classic romance novels and despite the usual graphic scenes of mistreatment and torture as portrayed in some other Garc铆a M谩rquez works, the book has a very classic gothic-romance feel to it, reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet.
Caution: A trigger-warning for torture and pedophilia.

鈥� Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez, Of Love and Other Demons
For me, this read was all over the place, even for a magical realist work, and is another death knell in what appears to be my zero capacity to understand the works of this acclaimed writer.

"No hay medicina que cure lo que no cura la felicidad".
Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez es uno de esos escritores bendecidos por el arte de narrar historias como los dioses. A lo largo de su vasta carrera literaria supo abrirse a paso firme su camino glorioso en la literatura, recibi贸 el premio Nobel en 1982 y se instal贸 entre los mejores autores que nos dio el siglo XX. Todas sus novelas en general reflejan su maestr铆a 煤nica, su impronta inequ铆voca y son le铆das por gente de todo el mundo.
Y fue adem谩s a partir de 鈥淐ien a帽os de soledad鈥� que su fama se transform贸 en algo eterno. Hoy en d铆a decir Garc铆a M谩rquez es lo mismo que nombrar a cualquier escritor laureado sea del pa铆s que sea. Se gan贸 su bien merecido lugar entre los mejores.
Pero adem谩s, debemos reconocer que no hay lector en el mundo que no asocie al gran Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez con el 鈥渞ealismo m谩gico鈥�. Independientemente de que algunos puristas consideren que otros escritores se le anticiparon en la invenci贸n del g茅nero (el caso de Juan Rulfo es el m谩s emblem谩tico), es en 茅l donde m谩s podemos experimentar esa maravilla que nos aporta el realismo m谩gico.
Y obviamente este libro, 鈥淒el amor y otros demonios鈥� no iba a ser la excepci贸n. Es digno de destacar tambi茅n la inventiva de Garc铆a M谩rquez para pertrechar una historia como la de Sierva Mar铆a de Todos los 脕ngeles. Pero adem谩s de los elementos del realismo en cuesti贸n hay en esta novela una historia de amor, otra de poder, una tercera de fe (por nombrar algunas) y todas ellas entrelazadas por los personajes que las viven.
Casi de una manera similar a 鈥淐r贸nica de una muerte anunciada鈥�, cada uno de los personajes tiene su propia historia y as铆, nos vamos enterando de lo que le sucede al marqu茅s de Casalduero, Ygnacio Alfaro y Due帽as, padre de Sierva Mar铆a, o de lo que viven otros personajes como Bernarda Cabrera, su esposa, los avatares del sacerdote Cayetano Delaura, que muere de amor por Sierva Maria, los oscuros pasajes que leemos del obispo don Toribio C谩ceres, la ponz帽a y perfidia de una de las villanas de la novela, me refiero a la abadesa del convento de Santa Clara, Josefa Miranda y de otros personajes secundarios como la negra Dominga de Adviento y una monja presa en el convento, Martina Laborde.
Todo, absolutamente todo, gira alrededor de Sierva Mar铆a quien luego de ser mordida por un perro es sospechada de haber contra铆do la rabia y de ah铆, luego de las peores sospechas de creerse que est谩 pose铆da por demonios. A partir de all铆 y de la reclusi贸n en el convento por imposici贸n de su padre el marqu茅s se desarrollar谩 la trama del libro hasta el final.
Otro aspecto notable de realismo m谩gico en Sierva Mar铆a es su largu铆sima cabellera color cobre de veintid贸s metros y once cent铆metros, algo que Garc铆a M谩rquez vio personalmente cubriendo una nota para el peri贸dico en el que trabajaba y que le dio origen a este libro. Tambi茅n de que Sierva Mar铆a vive con los esclavos negros, comparte sus costumbres y aprende sus idiomas. Ella no es una ni帽a cualquiera, es un ser humano extraordinario que nadie comprender谩 y su entrada en el convento de Santa Clara generar谩 los sentimientos m谩s encontrados.
Algunos pasajes de este libro son realmente maravillosos y es en ellos en donde el realismo m谩gico explota con mil colores, como en este caso:
"La vida no les dio tiempo. Un 9 de noviembre estaban tocando a d煤o bajo los naranjos, porque el aire era puro y el cielo alto y sin nubes, cuando un rel谩mpago los ceg贸, un estampido s铆smico los sac贸 de quicio, y do帽a Olalla cay贸 fulminada por la centella. La ciudad sobrecogida interpret贸 la tragedia como una deflagraci贸n de la c贸lera divina por una culpa inconfesable. El marqu茅s orden贸 funerales de reina, en los cuales se mostr贸 por primera vez con los tafetanes negros y la color macilenta que hab铆a de llevar hasta siempre. Al regreso del cementerio lo sorprendi贸 una nevada de palomitas de papel sobre los naranjos del huerto. Atrap贸 una al azar, la deshizo, y ley贸: Ese rayo era m铆o.鈥�
O este otro que marqu茅 y que identifico como digno de la belleza narrativa propia de Gabo:
鈥滱 Delaura, en cambio, lo 煤nico que le llam贸 la atenci贸n fue el alboroto de los gallos. 芦No son sino seis pero cantan como ciento禄, dijo la abadesa. 芦Adem谩s, un cerdo habl贸 y una cabra pari贸 trillizos禄. Y agreg贸 con ah铆nco: 芦Todo anda as铆 desde que su obispo nos hizo el favor de mandarnos este regalo emponzo帽ado禄. Igual alarma le causaba el jard铆n florecido con tanto 铆mpetu que parec铆a contra natura. A medida que lo atravesaban le hac铆a notar a Delaura que hab铆a flores de tama帽os y colores irreales, y algunas de olores insoportables."
Estos son s贸lo dos extractos de los tantos que posee el libro y que demuestran por qu茅 Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez, lo m谩s maravilloso que nos regal贸 la literatura de Colombia y que a m铆 me sigue sorprendiendo con cada libro que leo de 茅l.

'He had no room in his heart for anything but Sierva Mar铆a, and even so it was not large enough to hold her. He was convinced that no oceans or mountains, no laws of earth or heaven, no powers of hell could keep them apart'
Another enchanting tale from the Colombian maestro of magic realism that - as soon as Father Cayetano Delaura started reciting sonnets to twelve-year-old Sierva Mar铆a, laying side by side with her - got me thinking of a certain Nabokov novel. Only here the girl in question sweats with the smell of onions, likes to slit the throats of goats and eat their eyes and testicles in hot spices, and has demonic episodes that could have come straight out of William Friedkin's The Exorcist. Could it be though that the real demons of the story are not those raging away inside Sierva Mar铆a?
This is not just a simple story of their thwarted love, but a broader horizon of themes that sees a battle of good vs evil; god vs the devil, barbarous cures, ethnic contrasts, the boundaries separating life and death, wealth and power; masters and servants. All crammed into 150 pages that felt twice as long. Marquez handles the whole thing with great dignity, and highlights the strength of one's spirit is what remains when such intangible forces as love and power colide. At once terrifiying, bittersweet, uncomfortable, and also somehow comic, six novels down; plus a collection of short-stories, and it's only really Memories of My Melancholy Whores that I didn't get on with.
Once again here he showcases his astonishing ability to wallop the reader with a mixture of realism and truths, dreamlike moments and otherworldliness.

This short novel takes us way back in time to the Spanish colonies, let鈥檚 say Colombia, in the late 1700s. A beautiful young girl has such criminally neglectful parents that they have left her care and upbringing to the slaves of the household who teach her their language, dances and religion. Both of her parents are busy with their lovers.
She is bitten by a possibly rabid dog, which leads to a series of events where the only possible cure is, of course: .
But a young priest falls in love with her, and this love is the real demon of the title. Love of underage girls is a theme in several of the author鈥檚 novels.
This author is Gabriel Marquez so we are served with some surrealist fantasy as we expect. All the characters struck me as a bit like caricatures. Not the author's best; a 3.5 rounded down.
Still a good read with a lot of local color of the Spanish colonial era.

This, this, is just amazing. I simply can't state how good writer Marquez is. His imagination, style, execution, everything... And all this is in this book just top-notchy. My new 3rd favourite book by him, surpassing 'Whores', which were good, but didn't have this quality and power.
Might take a Marquez break now, for a few months. After all, I have read 3 novels by him in a row.

鈥淎n ash grey dog with a white blaze on its forehead burst into the market, knocked down tables of fried food, over turned Indians stalls and lottery kiosks, and bit four people who happened to cross its path. Three of them were black slaves. The fourth, Sierva Mar铆a de Todos los 脕ngeles, the only child of the Marquis de Casalduero, had come there with a mulatta servant to buy a string of bells for the celebration of her twelfth birthday.鈥�
鈥淭hat afternoon he looked for Sierva Mar铆a in the servants courtyards. She was helping to skin rabbits, and her face was painted black, her feet were bare, and her head was wrapped in the red turban used by slave women. He asked her if she had been bitten by a dog, and the answer was a categorical no. But that night Bernarda confirmed it was true. The Marquis was bewildered and asked: "Then why does Sierva deny it?"
"Now I am saying it again" said the Bishop. "I entrust the girl's health to you." "This is the strangest thing that has ever happened to me," said Delaura. "Do you mean you refuse?" "I am not an exorcist, Father," said Delaura. "I do not have the character or the training nor the knowledge to claim to be one. Besides, we know that God has set me on another path."
鈥淭he struggle continued for three more days. Although she had not eaten for a week, Sierva Mar铆a managed to extricate one leg and kick her heel into the Bishop's lower abdomen, knocking him to the ground. Only then they realized she had been able to free herself because her body was so emaciated that the straps no longer confined her. The ensuing outrage made it advisable to interrupt the exorcism - an action favored by the Ecclesiastical Council but opposed by the Bishop.鈥�
鈥淒elaura had reached the end of his strength. He was handed over to the Holy Office and condemned at a public trial that cast suspicions of heresy on him and controversies in the bosom of the Church. Through a special act of grace he served out his sentence as a nurse at the Amor de Dios Hospital where he lived, eating and sleeping with lepers on the ground, and washing in their troughs with water they had used, but never achieving his confessed desire to contract leprosy.鈥�
鈥淪ierva Mar铆a didn鈥檛 know what happened to Delaura, why he didn鈥檛 come back with his basket of delicacies from the arcades and his insatiable nights. On the twenty ninth of May, having lost her will to endure any more, she dreamed again of the window looking out on a snow covered field from which Delaura was absent and to which he would never return.鈥�
**
Based on a legend told to him as a boy by his grandmother, Marquez opens this 1994 novella with an incident during his earlier career as a journalist covering the opening of crypts in a crumbling convent slated for demolition. As the coffins are removed they break apart revealing a corpse of a young girl with twenty two meters of red hair still attached to her skull. He then tells the story of twelve year old Sierva Maria, the daughter of a Marquis in the mid 1700鈥檚, at a port town along Colombia鈥檚 Caribbean. On her birthday she goes to market and ventures onto the slave docks where she was forbidden to go. A rabid dog attacks her and several other people, all who contract rabies, some who die and others who will go mad.
Sierva鈥檚 father, the second Marquis was a unremarkable man, alienated from his daughter and wife, unlike his father the first Marquis, a renowned soldier and slave trader. She spends most of her time in the servants quarters since her mother has an aversion to her. After the dog bite she prefers African folk medicine to western doctors but shows no signs of illness. The Marquis had acceded to a marriage arranged by his illustrious father but the noble woman was struck down by lighting shortly after. He remained a virgin until the age of 52 when an untitled, wealthy 23 year old mestiza took control of the matter and gave birth to Sierva. Her mother Bernarda proved an astute business woman as was the Marquis father.
As the Marquis tries to connect with Sierva and teach her western ways Bernarda becomes deathly ill from an excess of drugs and sex. A second blow falls when he is informed Sierva shows signs of succumbing to the dog鈥檚 disease. Medicine was primitive and the only recourse was prayer. Sorcery, surgery and alchemy were tried with Sierva now sicker than she was before. The Bishop suspects demonic possession and convinces the Marquis to enter her into a convent for life. She is locked in a former Inquisition cell, nuns and novices alike convinced by her strange behavior she is the spawn of Satan. The Bishop assigns the young priest Delaura to minister to Sierva at the convent where he develops empathy and love.
Delaura reveals his guilt to the Bishop who banishes him to a leper hospital but he can鈥檛 stay away from the convent. Most of the characters become involved in one sort of tragedy or another. Beyond a portrait of the star crossed lovers lies a critique of the Catholic Church. Marquez鈥檚 writing is rich and nuanced but it produces a gloomy picture of the 18th century Colombia; it鈥檚 indigent slaves, repressive religion, declining nobility and the nature of love itself. An author of Marquez鈥檚 calibre isn鈥檛 required to provide a happy ending, and he does not. The overall effect of this story is a depression that is difficult to shake. The redeeming features are in Delaura鈥檚 release from a repressed priesthood and of Sierva from an unloved childhood.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez takes advantage of this novel to denounce certain practices of the Catholic Church throughout history.
The lack of medical knowledge made people victims of certain disorders possessed by evil.
Then followed them for their long descent into suffering.

Sierva Mar铆a de Todos los 脕ngeles fu茅 mordida por un perro con rabia. Cuando se lo informaron a su padre no hab铆a nada que hacer y pronto morir铆a.
La ni帽a enferm贸 y le daban muchas fiebres por lo que se pens贸 que estaba pose铆da por un demonio y el obispo recomend贸 llevarla al convento de Santa Clara para que fuera exorcizada.
El obispo encarg贸 a el padre Cayetano Delaura, que se hiciera cargo de los exorcismos de la ni帽a, pero termin贸 obsesionado con ella y el obispo le retir贸 el cargo y lo mand贸 a cuidar leprosos.

Mary was bitten by a dog with rage. When they informed his father there was nothing to do and she would soon die.
The girl became ill and was very ill because of what was thought to be possessed by a demon and the bishop recommended taking her to the convent of Santa Clara to be exorcised.
The bishop ordered Father Cayetano Delaura to take charge of the exorcisms of the girl, but he ended up obsessed with her and the bishop removed him from convent and sent him to care for lepers. In spite of that, Maria and Cayetano were seen every night secretly in the convent and they fell madly in love wrapped in an indescribable ecstasy.
Cayetano and Mary continued to see each other secretly until the nuns discovered and sent Cayetano to take care of the lepers for the rest of his life. Mary never knew why Cayetano never returned and was exorcised by the bishop, who cut her long hair and kept her locked because the signs of demonic possession only increased.
Mary stopped eating and died, always wondering why Cayetano never returned.

It seems this is one you either love or are indifferent to. I found myself leaning toward the indifferent. The underlying story of a young girl being removed from the comforts of wealth based upon misdiagnosis and ignorance is of itself fascinating, the scene setting fabulous. To overlay that with a doomed romance between a handsome priest and a prepubescent girl is heady stuff, then further layered with themes of the demonic and the insane, and yet it simply failed to enliven my senses. Maybe presenting such powerful melodrama in such a bland and tame manner is the book's triumph but it left me wanting to feel more, especially of the priest's multifarious challenges. It's a gentle, passive work, with a dangerous, explosive plot which completely fails to ignite. It may well be lost in translation but even if the author craftily intends for the reader to feel disturbed almost subliminally by the extreme physcology at work, then he doesn't do enough to provoke a reaction from this reader. I have seen this book given as a gift to represent an improbable, impossible love, so I hope the giver and receiver are on the same wavelength as I remember the book more for its interesting story and scenes than for any emotions aroused or intellectual confrontation.

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 about this one, but with a deeper familiarity that allowed me to experience it on a deeper level than the first. I feel like I am suspended in space while reading his novels, in some world where standards and morality and interpretation don't really matter all that much. It is deeply enchanting. As magical realism, it succeeds brilliantly. The subject matter is rather heavy, but I didn't feel heavy while reading this in the slightest. It takes a special writer to produce that effect, in my opinion. The prose is, obviously, beautiful enough to induce that. It's also unexpected, surprising, but I accepted it. It didn't jar me out the way it would have in another book.
I should re-read this soon, now that I think about it.

I have always drawn parallels between Marquez and Murakami not only because of the common element of magical realism so discernible in their works, but also because of their talent for splendid imagery.
But it goes without saying, there's a pronounced difference between their styles as well.
While I understood perfectly well that Murakami likes to crack open the spine of a city bustling with life and activity on the surface and fish out its soul from the intimidating depths of its anatomy, Marquez had me stumped with One Hundred Years of Solitude. While Murakami tries to dissect the universal human condition with so much empathy, does Marquez only seek to tell licentious tales?
Even though I enjoyed reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, I remember feeling quite overwhelmed by the time I was done with it. I couldn't quite fathom all its underlying implications. It was much too immense in its scope.
But finally with my second Marquez book, I think I've succeeded in my endeavors to decode his writing, to a certain extent.
Besides having that eerie, surreal quality characteristic of Marquez's style, Of love and other demons is a subtle reproof against religious dogmas and race divides.
It is like an ephemeral tapestry of breath-taking beauty, woven with garishly loud colors.
As you flip through the pages of this little gem, you are transported to an alternative plane of reality where absurd things make wonderful sense and commonplace affairs of everyday reality seem inconsequential. Where images of a marquis' ageing wife engaging in wild orgies with her African slaves and allusions to sodomy do not make the reader recoil in horror. Where the instance of a 36 year-old man wanting to make love to a 12 year-old girl, makes you think of a doomed romance but not pedophilia. Because by that time Marquez would have cast his magic spell on you and whisked you away to a neverland where social conventions and the established notions of morality are immaterial.
He becomes the puppeteer, the illusionist and the enthralled readers can only follow his lead and believe in what he wants them to believe.
While I've given both and Of love and other demons 4 stars, I have to admit I liked this book much more than the former.
I'm hoping Marquez will grow on me.

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 smoked glass in his hand for looking at the sun. I wanted to tell him I have fallen for the possessed girl I was supposed to exorcise. I wanted to shriek at him, implore him, beg at his feet to condone my misgivings on faith in spite of being an eminent priest and a renowned Father and a dutiful librarian. But I couldn't come to terms with my own imbecility and indecision.
The sun has always been the sigil of a pristine presence, a God,an indomitable focus of energy. The Bishop could see the eclipse through the smoked glass and said that wherever he looked he could still the see the eclipse. His faith in God was undoubted and his arguments supporting his faith were insurmountable. He always came up with the most cleverest and undeterred of arguments favouring his position. He had faith, he had focus, he closed one of his eyes and through the smoked glass could relish the sight of the Eclipse. He requested me to look at the eclipse but with focus and using only one of eyes as the eclipse will go away in a few hours. In my state of perpetual distraction I looked at the eclipse with both my eyes without using the smoked glass and ended up nearly burning my retinas in the process. I covered my afflicted eye with a dark patch.
I tried telling the Bishop of my doubts regarding the satanic possession of the girl and maybe rabies was the true reason behind the girl's instability and the girl should be left in the deft hands of doctors or physicians to come up with a cure. As we proceeded with the discussion,I tried to reason with him but he came up with an invincible ambiguity which left me more perplexed than defeated.
'We cannot intervene in the rotation of the earth,'said Delaura.
'But we could be unaware of it so that it does not cause us grief,'said the Bishop.'More than faith, what Galileo lacked was a heart.'
I left the Bishop's room unconvinced.
I had always loved reading books ranging from the religious ones in Latin to the forbidden 'books of chivalry' until one day I was deprived of my decrepit copy of 'Amadis of Gaul' and was coerced to devote my absolute faith in God rather than immersing myself in frivolities of chivalry.
Mustering my aspirations to save the girl, I went to the physician who was the first person outside the immediate noble family of the Marquis who was made aware of the Girl's instability ,which as his scientific capacity of a doctor would decree, said that the dog bite might be the the cause of the Girl's distress. The physician,a man of scholarly disposition with a chaotic and a dubious past invited me in devoid of any apprehension. He was not a bit disconcerted to allow a man of religion to enter his house. I was fascinated with the amount of books on his shelves. I was impressed by his Latin speaking skills and he showed me the forbidden book I was deprived of in my younger days-'the four volumes of Amadis of Gaul'. I gave a glance of awe over the precious edition and I could feel my other half of my being, my sunburnt eye plunging into the throes of ephemeral recuperation.
'He removed the patch and tossed it in the thrash bin.'The only thing wrong with that eye is that it sees more than it ought too,' he said.
We discussed about books and scientific things which were deemed prohibited and leaned over the line of heresy. I shared my heartfelt concern of the affected Girl with the physician. I inadvertently confessed my love for her. I was ready to accept science as the only mechanism of curing the Girl.
'It would be you and I against everyone else,'he(Delaura) said.
'Which is why I was surprised that you came,' said the physician.'I am no more than hunted prey in the game preserve of the Holy Office.'
'The truth is I am not really sure why I have come,'said Delaura.'Unless that child has been imposed on me by the Holy pirit to test the strength of my faith.'
I thanked the physician for his medical help and for the eye wash and returned to my room.
I was left alone with my chaotic conscience. I was enmeshed with an unconquerable quandary, an eternal paradox of religion and science; my pair of eyes which helped me visualize and drink in the beauty of the world in tandem yet I was made to choose between the two in order to save the girl I loved. I lacked focus in science, held a wavering devotion towards God. It was written in the destiny of the Girl and in our fate of wishful togetherness that she would be saved only by one of the two,as seen through one of my eyes. The Girl was everything to me, the love of my life, the burning sensation in my loins, the apple of my eye and the Indomitable Sun.
My cravings drove me back and forth between the erudition of the Physician and the unflinching faith of the Bishop. I was lost in distraction in the whirlpool of the eternal question-Science or God? Rabies or Demonic possession? Maybe the demon really possessed her or maybe she really had rabies.
Distraught and vexed I tried looking at the Sun, I tried to savour the beauty of the eclipse with both my eyes gifted by God and backed by science, then I heard the ululating chants of 'Vade Retro' beating mercilessly on my ear drums, I felt the whirlpool taking me along it's dreadful path as the sun seared my eyes with a betrayed pain of faith and the treacherous agony of science.

2.5 estrellas.
El primer libro que leo de Gabriel Garc铆a M谩rquez y tengo que decir que me gust贸. Es una novela corta, que se lee en una sentada.
-隆Qu茅 lejos estamos!
-驴De qu茅?
-De nosotros mismos.
El inicio es interesante, aunque tengo que admitir que me cost贸 involucrarme con la historia. Luego todo se empieza a esclarecer en el segundo cap铆tulo y, a partir de ah铆, el relato se disfruta mucho m谩s.
No hay medicina que cure lo que no cura la felicidad.
En algunas partes se me hizo bastante pesado por el modo de narrar del autor y, al ser lento, tambi茅n un poco insoportable. Sin embargo, al ser una historia que me atrajo, no pod铆a despegar los ojos de las p谩ginas.
El final me encant贸.

Acum, la a doua lectur膬, dup膬 mai bine de 10 ani, am perceput 葯i tr膬it 卯ntr-un alt mod romanul lui G.G.Marquez, l-am citit cu al葲i ochi.
De citit 葯i recitit.
Nu-mi propun s膬 fac o recenzie. Cartea nu mai are nevoie de nicio prezentare, a葯a c膬 doar redau mai jos c芒teva citate remarcabile care m-au impresionat:
鈥濶u-i pe lume leac care s膬 t膬m膬duiasc膬 ce nu t膬m膬duie艧te fericirea鈥�.
鈥濽neori atribuim diavolului anumite lucruri pe care nu le pricepem, f膬r膬 s膬 ne g芒ndim c膬 pot fi lucruri ale Domnului pe care nu le 卯n牛elegem.鈥�
鈥濱nima nu-i b膬tea dec芒t pentru Sierva Maria, dar chiar 葯i a葯a nu-i era de ajuns. Era 卯ncredin葲at c膬 n-ar exista oceane ori mun葲i, nici legi de pe p膬m芒nt sau din ceruri 葯i nici putere a infernului care s膬-i poat膬 desp膬r葲i.鈥�
鈥澝巌 m膬rturisi c膬 nu trecea o clip膬 f膬r膬 s膬 se g卯ndeasc膬 la ea, c膬 tot ce m卯nca 葯i bea avea gustul ei, c膬 via葲a era ea, la orice or膬 葯i pretutindeni, cum numai Domnul avea dreptul 葯i puterea de a fi, 葯i cu bucuria suprem膬 a sufletului s膬u ar fi s膬 moar膬 卯mpreun膬 cu ea.鈥�
鈥漃卯n膬 atunci li se p膬ruse am卯ndurora c膬 dragostea le era de-ajuns pentru a fi ferici葲i.鈥�

This book was like a punch in the gut. And it left me with little to no words, so this review will be short and vague so as to not spoiling anything.
Set in the 18th century, 12-year-old Sierva Mar铆a is bitten by a dog and people believe her to be posessed by a demon. Thus they send her to a convent where Cayetano Delaura meets her and falls in intense love.
Honestly, it's very simple, and yet there's so much in it. The writing is so atmospheric, and this is enhanced by the subtle magical realism in the book, which in my opinion is better than to start making weird things happen and fancy yourself very clever.
The story itself is utterly tragic, and so far, it's been my favourite book by Garc铆a M谩rquez. He's one of the authors that make me proud of being Latin American. I've got nothing left to say except that you should read this book and see for yourself how beautiful and sad it is.

I so wanted to love this book. Touted as a captivating, enchanting and even "edgy" work of storytelling hinged with elements of magical realism, "Of Love and Other Demons" seemed like a promising novel that would haunt me psychologically and emotionally.
Instead, I ended up dreading everything about it.
Quick plot review (spoilers contained): Young girl gets bit by a supposed rabid dog. Said girl is subsequently believed to be possessed by a demon. Girl is sent off to a convent to be "healed"? exorcised? Many strange occurrences seem to follow in the wake of the girls arrival at the convent. There is an overarching theme of assigning evil to that which is not clearly or scientifically understood. Some adult priest becomes enraptured by the young girl and their relationship hints at pedophilia. Eventually, everyone dies.
Maybe I missed the deeper meaning of the story because I got so impatient with the long-windedness and near overwhelming number of characters thrown into the mix (which was rather difficult to keep straight). Or maybe I've just become shallow in my old age and need a little more gratuitous action in my novels to hold my attention. In any case, I found myself constantly distracted by the never-ending introduction of the newest Marquis, Bishop, Dominga or person-from-some-Holy-Office. I felt like I needed a character guidebook to accompany the reading of this novel because after a while, I couldn't remember who was who and what their relevance to the story was supposed to be.
The prose in which Marquez writes is admittedly gorgeous, but that wasn't enough to save this piece from the depths of the infernal flames in which I felt like I was burning during the entire read.
"Of Love and Other Demons" is a short book, (less than 150 pages in my edition), yet it took me an entire month to get through it. I just didn't find myself caring much about the characters and never felt swept away by the plot (*was* there one?). It is highly likely that the essence of the story was lost in the English translation from its original Spanish text; I will allow the benefit of the doubt for that. Nonetheless, I found this novel a painful read that left me unmoved.
Instead, I ended up dreading everything about it.
Quick plot review (spoilers contained): Young girl gets bit by a supposed rabid dog. Said girl is subsequently believed to be possessed by a demon. Girl is sent off to a convent to be "healed"? exorcised? Many strange occurrences seem to follow in the wake of the girls arrival at the convent. There is an overarching theme of assigning evil to that which is not clearly or scientifically understood. Some adult priest becomes enraptured by the young girl and their relationship hints at pedophilia. Eventually, everyone dies.
Maybe I missed the deeper meaning of the story because I got so impatient with the long-windedness and near overwhelming number of characters thrown into the mix (which was rather difficult to keep straight). Or maybe I've just become shallow in my old age and need a little more gratuitous action in my novels to hold my attention. In any case, I found myself constantly distracted by the never-ending introduction of the newest Marquis, Bishop, Dominga or person-from-some-Holy-Office. I felt like I needed a character guidebook to accompany the reading of this novel because after a while, I couldn't remember who was who and what their relevance to the story was supposed to be.
The prose in which Marquez writes is admittedly gorgeous, but that wasn't enough to save this piece from the depths of the infernal flames in which I felt like I was burning during the entire read.
"Of Love and Other Demons" is a short book, (less than 150 pages in my edition), yet it took me an entire month to get through it. I just didn't find myself caring much about the characters and never felt swept away by the plot (*was* there one?). It is highly likely that the essence of the story was lost in the English translation from its original Spanish text; I will allow the benefit of the doubt for that. Nonetheless, I found this novel a painful read that left me unmoved.
