Portuguese Edition by Laura de Mello e Souza (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Este é o primeiro estudo realizado no Brasil sobre a feitiçaria nos tempos coloniais. É também um dos primeiros livros editados entre nós dentro da corrente da história das mentalidades e do imaginário. Uma verdadeira arqueologia da religiosidade popular, com base em cronistas da época, devassas eclesiásticas e processos da Inquisição, em uma linguagem que mostra rigor literário e científico e não o tédio acadêmico.
Por meio da nossa herança cultural européia, indígena e africana, aqui são rastreadas antigas práticas e personagens que, ainda hoje, integram nossa crença e frequentam nossos terreiros.

Uma leitura incrível. Agradável e envolvente. A maneira como a Historiadora devolve a voz a esses indivíduos a partir das fontes é sensacional. Tem passagens que parecem contos de terror. Um dos meus livros favoritos deste ano.

Esse livro é tão bom que eu comprei também a versão impressa. É um excelente documentário histórico, muito rico em historietas, pitoresco, interessante, bem construído, prende a atenção tanto quanto um bom romance e apresenta ótimas referências.

Excelente produto. Como sempre o mesmo veio muito bem embalado, no entanto a capa é a das edições antigas (amarela), diferente do que é anunciado.
