In the first edition of the Bancroft Prize-winning Entertaining Satan, John Putnam Demos presented an entirely new perspective on American witchcraft. By investigating the surviving historical documents of over a hundred actual witchcraft cases, he vividly recreated the world of New England during the witchcraft trials and brought to light fascinating information on the role of witchcraft in early American culture.

Créer en milagros es ganar un tiempo de esperanza cuando las expectativas palidecen. Así se piensa bajo la sombra de una enfermedad irredenta, de una deuda impaga o de un amor que no regresa. Pero la angustia impedirá que seamos nosotros mismos los que administremos el reacomodo de la situación. Alguien con más poder, conferido desde espacios ignotos, deberá ser quien nos ofrezca nuevas posibilidades.
