In 'The Devil and Miss Prym', a stranger embarks on a psychological experiment in a tranquil village too small for any map. He presents the people of Viscos with an existential challenge that exposes the essence of their morality. Concealing eleven gold bars, this mysterious visitor's ordeal puts the villagers to the test, luring them into a collective confrontation with greed, cowardice, and fear. Their responses to the enigma – to choose good or evil – unfold over a week that promises to change their lives forever. Probing the depths of our inner conflicts, Paulo Coelho delivers a narrative that questions the very fabric of human nature and the complex dance between darkness and light within us all.
