De duivel en het meisje is in 2000 geschreven door Paulo Coelho, maar geenszins gedateerd. De strijd tussen goed en kwaad die in dit boek zo mooi uiteen wordt gezet is immers altijd actueel en door de schrijverskunsten van Coelho nog ontzettend aangrijpend en meeslepend ook. Het verhaal speelt zich ...

The weak just whooshed by, what with all my charity work… the neighbors would fail without me to compare themselves too. The role I play is that of the really, dumb fat socially inept best friend, that you alway want to be seen with so that by comparison you look drop dead gorgeously thin, intellige ...
