{"product_id":"do-amor-e-outros-demonios","title":"Of love and other demons","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA book about the desire that chooses passions and reaches the deepest roots of the human being: love.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 1949, the historic Santa Clara convent was to be sold for the construction of a five-star hotel. And Gabriel García Márquez, a young reporter, was assigned to oversee the removal of the chapel's burial crypts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e What struck this Colombian man most was the tomb of a young girl, which reminded him of the legends his grandmother had told him. According to her, in the Caribbean, there was a little marquise who had \"hair that trailed like the train of a wedding dress.\" Revered for her miracles, she was bitten by a dog and died of rabies. Could that little marquise from his childhood be buried there?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e García Márquez tells the story of the only daughter of a marquis, raised among slaves and orishas, and a priest tasked with exorcising the demons believed to have possessed the little girl, whose hair would only be cut at her wedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Of Love and Other Demons\"\u003c\/em\u003e thus stems from an inspiration nearly half a century old. But its story goes further. García Márquez travels to Colombia, still a Spanish colony, to compose a love story shrouded in mystery, sorcery, and witchcraft, culminating in a trial initiated by the Inquisition. Once again, a theme immortalized in world literature—one of the desires that determines passions and reaches the deepest roots of human beings: love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A tender evocation of a colonial past that poignantly amplifies the loneliness of an era and its people, this is \u003cem\u003eOf Love and Other Demons\u003c\/em\u003e . By uniting the young Sierva María de Todos los Ángeles and Father Cayetano Delaura in moments of tender stillness and ardent voluptuousness, the master of magical realism creates a story with the power and poignancy of a modern-day drama.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159299244284,"sku":"9788501042286","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/4b1bd5d9fd7722657662b8c911bbd96e_c9517dee-af39-4cfa-b936-b69c99a80ca2.jpg?v=1778874402","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/do-amor-e-outros-demonios","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
