Otra vuelta de tuerca

by Henry James, José María Guelbenzu (Prologue by), José Bianco (Translator)

Overview

Obra cumbre de las narraciones victorianas sobre casas encantadas, gracias a la calculada ambigüedad con que Henry James efectúa su retrato de personajes y de situaciones. Un clásico imperecedero del terror psicológico que creó escuela y fue imitado hasta la saciedad. Una bisoña institutriz se hace cargo de la educación de dos niños en una mansión de la campiña británica. Los fantasmas del pasado, reales o imaginarios no tardarán en atormentarla, en un crescendo de situaciones cada vez más desasosegantes que conducen a uno de los finales más terroríficos de la historia de la literatura.

This masterpiece of Victorian stories about haunted houses is an enduring classic of psychological terror that has been imitated repeatedly. A novice governess becomes responsible for the education of two children in a mansion in the British countryside. However, the ghosts of her past will soon haunt her, in a crescendo of increasingly disturbing situations that lead to one of the most terrifying endings in the history of literature.
