Synopsis "La Tumba del Dragón. Miscelanea 2 (Delirio) (in Spanish)"

Encuadernación: Rústica con solapasColección: La Biblioteca del LaberintoAdelante con la edición de las obras completas (cada vez más cerca o cada vez más lejos, a saber) de Robert E. Howard, el más grande de todos los escritores de la era de las revistas pulp. Este volumen, que hace ya el número quince en esta colección (y a estos habría que añadir el magnífico ensayo del colaborador de esta editorial, Javier Martín Lalanda, Cuando Cantan las Espadas, un pormenorizado repaso a toda la obra fantástica del autor texano), es una obra que recoge cuentos (bastantes) de temáticas variadas, como no podía ser menos en algo que se llama Miscelánea. A los habituales relatos de boxeo, se unen los del Oeste, algunos pequeños poemas en prosa, los de aventuras orientales, los de terror... una mezcla variopinta de relatos de muchos tipos marcados, eso sí, por la calidad siempre presente en las obras de Howard, incluso en las menores. Además, ofrecemos dos ciclos de poemas relacionados y creemos que inéditos, en edición bilingüe (pero sin rimar), y una selección de cartas del texano dirigidas a Harold Preece, a August Derleth y, en su gran mayoría, al gran Clark Ashton Smith. Fueron recopiladas por Glenn Lord y publicadas en el fanzine Amra, dedicado a la obra de Howard y sobre el que volveremos en breve.

Robert Ervin Howard (Peaster, Texas, 1906 – Cross Plains, Texas, 1936) was an American writer whose influence on fantasy literature is profound and lasting. From a young age, he showed a great passion for history and reading, which led him to start writing stories at fifteen and to sell his first text at eighteen. He is widely recognized as one of the creators of the sword and sorcery subgenre, especially for his iconic character Conan the Barbarian, who debuted in 1932 and became a cultural symbol. Additionally, he created other memorable characters like Kull of Atlantis and Solomon Kane, who also transcended literature to reach cinema and comics. His life was marked by his mother's illness and family instability, which influenced his reserved nature and his work. He maintained a close friendship with H. P. Lovecraft, with whom he shared ideas about civilization and barbarism. Despite his success in Weird Tales magazine and his prolific output of over three hundred stories, he faced economic and personal difficulties, culminating in his suicide at thirty, following his mother's death.

Estupenda edición. Me hice de tres libros de Howard, muy difíciles de conseguir. Valió la pena el servicio.
