Description:
This is the 2021 Turkish edition of Love And Other Demons (Aşk Ve Öbür Cinler), published by Can Yayınları. The novel is written by Gabriel García Márquez, one of the most influential authors of twentieth-century literature and a leading figure of magical realism.
The story is set in colonial-era Cartagena and follows Sierva María, a young girl who is believed to be possessed after being bitten by a rabid dog. As rumors of demonic possession spread, she is taken to a convent where attempts are made to “exorcise” her. There, she forms a complex and forbidden emotional bond with Cayetano Delaura, a priest assigned to her case. The novel explores the blurred boundaries between faith, superstition, science, and love, questioning what is truly demonic: supernatural belief or human fear and ignorance.
Gabriel García Márquez was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers of modern literature. His works often combine historical reality with myth, fantasy, and deep psychological insight, creating richly layered narratives that explore human emotion and society.
This Can Yayınları edition presents the Turkish translation of one of Márquez's most atmospheric and emotionally powerful novels.
