Memorias de un exorcista
This exciting book is the result of a no less exciting life. Its pages swarm with an amazing variety of experiences. The writer has had intimations of heaven and hell: he was raised in a small provincial village; has seen with sadness the poo¬rest Brazilian favelas from the inside, and has set foot in the shag-pile carpeted houses of the powerful; he possesses an encyclopaedic culture and puts it at the service of the Church in one of its strangest fields: demonology. In this work we see a Renaissance man who was once commissioned a thesis on exorcism, and had his life changed by it. His takes us into the world of the church, the real world of the clergy.
Far from those fictional works that express a contrived view of the eccle¬siastical milieu, his memoirs are full of the countless details he jotted down in his notebook —which makes Memorias de un exorcista a truthful and beautiful book. No matter what each of us believes, this book lets us readers into the mind and the memories of an intellectual who felt the call of the priesthood.
Father José Antonio Fortea has become one of the world’s most brilliant exor¬cists, and at present is considered one of the best demonologists.
