The novel is set south of the Chilean capital, Santiago, in a small town near the regional center of Talca. It tells the story of a bordello, and details the prostitutes' way of life. The main character is Manuela, the transvestite who owns the bordello. A number of other memorable characters are introduced. The novel was well received, and Donoso himself considered it his best work: "the most perfect, with fewest errors, the most complete".[1] TitleThe title Hell Has No Limits refers to a line in Marlowe's play Doctor Faustus, where the character Mephistophilis says: Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib'd In one self place; for where we are is hell, And where hell is, there must we ever be. —Doctor Faustus, Act II, scene i, line 118 Film adaptationIn 1978, the book was made into a film of the same name.
