I've actually read that one in French a couple of years back, mainly because it was one of the inspirations for one of my favourite novels, the Club Dumas by Arturo Perez-Reverte. It's a great occult story, kind of like fantasy before fantasy was established as a genre. A very enjoyable read.

O Diabo Apaixonado é um livro que subverte a veracidade e onipotencia do narrador ao confundir o leitor narrando os fatos que experiência o protagonista ditos por uma voz terceira. Algo extremamente moderno para um livro do sec.18... só não mais moderno que a trama engenhosa. Excelente livro !

Le diable amoureux est un très court roman, agréable à lire. Premier récit fantastique français il date de 1772, et semble a priori être une banale histoire de cœur, d’amours difficiles, de jalousies et de rivalités. L’ensemble est un résultat étrange, entre réalisme et fantastique. De nombreux auteurs s’en seront par la suite inspirés. Sympathique.

I read this because it was referenced in the book The Dumas Club. While the writing style is eloquent and romantic in a sense. The story itself while being dark and mysterious meanders. For its time I can see it being provocative but for modern day it’s just okay and somewhat anticlimactic at the end given the suspense of it all.

Kitabın dili ve betimlemeleri o kadar güzeldi ki konunun işleyişindeki eksiklikler gözüme o kadar batmadı. Sonsöz kısmında bile altını çizdiğim bir cümle olan tek kitap olabilir. Kesinlikle defalarca okuyacağım.
