Kao voda za čokoladu
One of the most successful works of Spanish literature, originally witty, magically touching and unrelentingly tragic, this love story will win you over just as it won the hearts of millions of readers around the world with its true-to-life charm.
Whoever enters the magical world of traditional Mexican cuisine will remain there forever, captivated by the magic of smells and tastes that boggle the mind, beckon tears, arouse love, invoke melancholy and mix imagination with the reality of a cook-magician gifted by hand.
And this is exactly the story of one such, about Tita, the youngest daughter in the De la Garza family, who was denied the love of her life by a cruel family tradition. Instead of marrying Pedro, she will be tasked with taking care of her mother until she dies. When Pedro, wanting to be as close as possible to his beloved Tita, marries her sister Rosaura, passions at the De la Garza estate will boil like water for chocolate.
Thirty years ago, Laura Esquivel wrote the novel "Like Water for Chocolate", which became a world sensation in record time; it was the best-selling novel in Mexico for two years, spent a year and a half on the American best-seller list, was translated into 36 languages, and sold an incredible seven million copies worldwide.
The most commercial film in Spanish of all time was also made based on him.
