Synopsis "La Piedra Lunar (in Spanish)"

Los mejores libros jamásescritos.

«¿Recuerdas aquella mañana en que llegué aquípor vez primera con la Piedra Lunar? ¡Ojalá Dios me hubiera impulsadoa arrojarla a las arenas movedizas!»

La Piedra Lunar,valiosa joya robada de un santuario hindú y de la que se cuentan todaclase de leyendas maléficas, llega a las manos de Raquel Verinder,heredera de un lord inglés, como regalo de cumpleaños. Sin embargo,después de la cena de celebración la gema desaparece. El sargento Cuff será el encargado de desentrañar una verdad que permanece oculta tras las diferentes versiones de los hechos que ofrece cada uno de lospersonajes implicados.

Abre el volumen un estudio introductorio de la reputada investigadora del Victoria and Albert Museum SandraKemp. Asimismo, Horacio Laurora vierte fielmente a nuestra lengua laque, según T. S. Eliot, es «la primera, la más larga y la mejor de las novelas detectivescas inglesas modernas».

View Author's Page
(London 1824-1889) Playwright, novelist, and prolific short story writer. At 17, he started working at a tea trading company while writing Ioláni, or Tahiti as it was (Gothic no. 32), a work that was not published until over a century after his death. He studied Law and, although he never practiced, he did use his legal knowledge in many of his works, and critics consider him one of the fathers of the detective genre. In 1851, he met Charles Dickens, with whom he formed a deep friendship and published his main works in his weekly All the Year Around. After Dickens' death in 1870, his popularity waned. He suffered from rheumatic gout which eventually led to an opium addiction. His tombstone epitaph highlights him as the author of the novel The Woman in White.
