Summary/Abstract: The word establishes the world, unites the visible with the invisible and allows access to the knowledge of the truth. The word is capable, by itself, to express all the feelings and to reveal the most hidden 'self'. The word is magical to the extent in which it translated our deepest feelings and verbalises ancient knowledge. The work unites people and brings them back together. To believe God’s word means to forgive, to believe the words of fiction writers represents a means of acceding to the hidden truth of our lives. Tan veloz como el deseo, Laura Esquivel’s novel, deals with the magical power of the word and its translation to a story.
