Synopsis "El Castillo de los Cárpatos (in Spanish)"

El gran escritor Julio Verne toma la tradición de la novela gótica del siglo XIX para escribir un libro alejado, en principio, de lo que nos tiene acostumbrados. Pueblos atemorizados por la presencia de un castillo maldito habitado por el Diablo; rivalidades por amores pasados; psicofonías y apariciones; muertos resucitados. Todo ello en Transilvania, Rumania. Sin embargo, fiel a su tradición, usa todos esos elementos para adelantarse al desarrollo tecnológico de su época e imaginar máquinas que hoy estamos usando o que quizá en un futuro cercano podremos disfrutar.

Jules Verne was a prolific French author who is considered one of the fathers of science fiction, alongside the English H. G. Wells. He began by writing some theatrical plays and published several short stories and scientific articles. His ambition was to write a new type of novel, one that combined adventure with scientific facts. That dream was fulfilled with Five Weeks in a Balloon, the first of his great novels. Verne was always very interested in the scientific novelties of his time. From that passion, seminal works of science fiction such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the Moon, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea were born. Verne's influence goes beyond literature, as he has inspired several generations of people who have dedicated themselves to science.
