Jacques Cazotte (1719-1792) è stato uno scrittore francese, ghigliottinato durante il regime delTerrore. La sua celebrità si lega al racconto “Il diavolo innamorato”, pubblicato nel 1772, racconto immerso nell’esoterismo, in cui è evidente l’esortazione alla prudenza nell’avvicinarsi alla magia e alla cabala. La bellissima donna che turba i sonni del protagonista, Don Alvaro Maravillas, è reale o fantastica? O appartiene ad un regno che è diverso sia dalla realtà fisica che da quella immaginaria?

Pour chaque défunt, il raconte d'abord l'orchestration du deuil durant laquelle s'expriment la douleur et la déploration lors de cérémonies empruntes d'émotions collectives.
