«El diablo de los números» is the young adult novel by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, published by Siruela in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
Robert fears mathematics because he doesn't understand it. One night he dreams of a little devil who, over twelve nights, teaches him astonishing number sequences and increasingly surprising systems. The numbers eventually take on a life of their own, and the nightmare turns into a fascinating journey through ideas that were previously inaccessible to him.
The work is part of the Las Tres Edades collection (no. 57) and is illustrated by Rotraut Susanne Berner; the translation is by Carlos Fortea.
Aimed at readers aged 10 and up, especially those who fear mathematics and want to discover it in a playful way.
