Demonios de rencor, de intolerancia, de imbecilidad. ¡Es detestable!” AY, sí… el amor, en un sentido amplio que incluya la pasión y el deseo, puede ser un demonio temible y seductor y devastador y delicioso y corruptor y transgresor, y como tal afectará a varios de los protagonistas de esta gozosa novela. Un poder animal que Garcia Marquez encarna en dos negros: un negro, Judas Iscariote, que provocó la desgracia de Bernarda, madre de Sierva María, y una negra, una cautiva abisinia capaz de perturbar a los hombres hasta la locura con su sola desnudez.

The chief exorcist, Cayetano Delaura, an intellectual and vigorous priest with a secret passion for forbidden books of courtly romance, falls in love with the young girl and her hair, and their love ends in her fated death. Delaura's opponent for GGM, has astutely, used this blend to unravel layers of love, passion, half-knowledge, ignorance, superstition and much more!! her health and soul is the Jewish doctor Abrenuncio de Sa Pereira Cao, who represents reason in a world of wild and twisted belief.

Main Characters Muy posiblemente con Crónica de una Muerte Anunciada, una de las mejores obras de Garcia Marquez que leí hasta el día. Especialmente disfruté la triste y trágica historia de fondo de Ignacio, Bernarda y Judas Iscariote. No me agradó particularmente mucho la última parte en el Convento de Santa Clara y el Padre Cayetano para ser sincero; pero esa escena con el pelo…. ¡Cielos! Eso sí fue increíble. Von der Liebe und anderen Damonen = Del amory otros demonios = Del amar y otros demonios = Of Love and Other Demons, Gabriel Garcí­a MárquezWriter-director Hidalgo – and her largely female production team – have crafted an impressive and moody film, beautifully shot by Marcello Camorino, that veers between melodrama and over-heightened romance, though its literary drive keeps it from going too over-the-top.
