The Summary
In a quest to find if man is naturally good or evil, one man went in the remote town of Viscos and brought with him an evil proposal – 11 Bars of Gold in exchange for another person’s life (murder).
He buried the 11 bars in a forest and on the way back, he met Chantal Prym, who longed to escape the quiet and slow-paced town of Viscos. He showed her the treasure and told her his proposal.
Chantal Prym then decided to tell her co-villagers for she knows that they all will refuse.
But things were completely the opposite of what Miss Prym thought – the villagers decided to kill someone in exchange for the gold bars.
The Verdict
The Devil and Miss Prym is relatively a short book so you can finish it in no time. But you will pause once in a while for it has this lessons or thoughts that will keep you thinking if man is really good by nature or is just good for their own intention.
