Synopsis "Los Mejores Cuentos de Fantasmas (in Spanish)"

Un fantasma, un espectro o un espíritu es un símbolo inequívoco de todo aquello de cuya existencia se duda, y aunque un hombre es capaz de dudar de muchas cosas, nos encontramos ante una cuestión que nos desasosiega, nos inquieta y nos intriga pues tiene mucho que ver con el más allá, con la vida en el más allá, con seres de ultratumba capaces de pervivir después de la muerte. Todo ello produce en el ser humano un residuo de temor ancestral que no es fácil ocultar, un cierto gusto al sufrimiento y al horror que finalmente crea una adicción, a veces inconfesable, en el lector que descubre como una situación que parece de lo más trivial termina desembocando en situaciones de auténtico terror, dolor y muerte. La imaginación se desata y nos vemos enfrentados con el Mal. Maupassant, Dickens, Le Fanu, Hoffmann, James, Scott y Defoe nos deleitan en esta selección con sus obras maestras sobre estos seres.

Charles Dickens (February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870) was born in Portsmouth and was the eldest son of a Royal Navy clerk. At twelve, his father's imprisonment for debt forced him to work in a blacking factory. His education was sporadic: he taught himself shorthand, worked as a clerk in a law office, and eventually became a parliamentary correspondent for the Morning Chronicle.

Coming from a humble family, "good old Charles" did not receive formal education until he was nine, and was heavily criticized by the critics of the time for being too self-taught. His life took an unexpected turn with his father's imprisonment for debts, moving his family to live with him in jail, allowed at that time by British laws. At the age of 12, he was already considered fit to start working in a dye factory. Although his family's situation had improved, his mother insisted he keep working there, inspiring him to write one of his masterpieces, David Copperfield.

His articles, later collected in Scenes from London Life by "Boz" (1836-1837), were very successful, and with the appearance in 1837 of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, Dickens became a true publishing phenomenon. Novels such as Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839), and Barnaby Rudge (1841) gained enormous popularity, as did some travel chronicles, such as Pictures from Italy (1846). With Dombey and Son (1846-1848) he began his mature period, of which good examples are David Copperfield (1849-1850), his first novel in the first person and his favorite, in which he developed some autobiographical episodes; Bleak House (1852-1853); Little Dorrit (1855-1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1861), and Our Mutual Friend (1864-1865). He died at Gad's Hill, his country house in Higham, in the county of Kent.
