Abstract
QUELAS, Juan. Love of innocence and innocence of love. From the erotic venereal to the erotic agapic within Memories of my Melancholic Whores by Gabriel García Márquez. Franciscanum [online]. 2011, vol.53, n.156, pp.51-73. ISSN 0120-1468.
From the dialogue between Literature and Theology, the author suggests an itinerary that, following the story line of the Colombian novel, shows us the path that goes from a venereal eroticism, conceived as a passing pleasure, to an agapic eroticism, which integrates the whole person's life, producing a transformation in his existence that enlightens life as an excess of love.
Keywords : Literature and Theology; Gabriel García Márquez; agapic eroticism; love; passion.
