Synopsis "The Secret Glory"

Arthur Machen is considered a master of Victorian supernatural horror, penning such classics as The Great God Pan and The Hill of Dreams. As a journalist he was also responsible, (albeit unknowingly), for creating the still-popular legend of The Angel of Mons. Machen was born at Caerleon in Wales, and in later life turned his attention to Celtic legend and its ability to transform and inspire our dull reality. The Secret Glory is a semi-autobiographical tale of Ambrose Meyrick, whose mundane existence as a reluctant pupil in an English upper-class 'public school' is transfigured by his search for the Holy Grail of Arthurian legend. But every revelation comes at a price - and Meyrick's triumph in eventually finding the Grail leads him unwittingly to a macabre and grisly fate.

Arthur Machen es el seudónimo de Arthur Llewelyn Jones (1863-1947) un escritor y periodista galés que tiene el incuestionable honor de ser el padre de la novela decadente de terror. Después de una juventud un tanto errática, en la que compagina la escritura con trabajos eventuales, en 1890 Machen se dedica plenamente a la escritura gracias a una herencia familiar. De esos años de trabajo pleno surgirán sus mejores obras, las que le convertirán en un escritor tremendamente popular.Influenciado por las nuevas tendencias espirituales de su época, como el paganismo, el ocultismo o el espiritismo, Machen participa en distintos grupos hasta ingresar en la Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, una secta cristiana que preconizaba la recuperación de los antiguos rituales de la iglesia.Prolífico, Machen publicó 13 novelas que gozaron de una extraordinaria acogida popular, y resultó tremendamente influyente para todos aquellos autores que, después de él, decidieron explorar los aspectos más oscuros de la ficción.
