Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Of Love and Other Demons (Spanish: Del amor y otros demonios) is a novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez, first published in 1994. In the prologue, Garcia Marquez claims the novel is the fictional representation of a legend the author was told by his Grandmother as a child; of a 12 year-old girl who contracts rabies but was believed to be a 'miracle-worker', with long flowing copper hair that continues to grow after death. In this frame-story, it was only after an excavation of tombs that Gabriel Garcia Marquez is witness to the grave of a similar young girl with long red hair, that he was inspired to write Of Love and Other Demons. Mariana Solanet, however, in Garcia Marquez for Beginners, states this source was invented. She points rather to a story in Daniel Lemaitre's History of Cartagena Garcia Marquez came across in research for Love in the Time of Cholera.
