Synopsis "Zanoni: Novela Ocultista Original (in Spanish)"

La larga sombra del vampiro ha oscurecido a los demás inmortales góticos, como Fausto, el Judío Errante, o Zanoni, el cual pertenece a una sociedad secreta -más antigua que los Rosacruces-que utilizaba el poder de la vida eterna para buenos propósitos. El personaje central de la narración es un ser misterioso, de origen desconocido, de quien se cuentan cosas extraordinarias, que vive consagrado a sus estudios herméticos hasta que se enamora de la bella Viola Pisani, ídolo de la ópera de Nápoles. Desde ese momento, los amantes estarán sometidos a toda suerte de vicisitudes; un drama mágico que concluye durante los días del Terror, bajo el imperio de Robespierre y la sombra ominosa de la guillotina.

Edward Bulwer-Lytton (London, 1803 – Torquay, 1873) was a prolific novelist, playwright, and British politician, prominent in the Victorian period. He cultivated various literary genres, including historical novels, Gothic romance, and science fiction. Among his most recognized works is The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), a historical novel set in the ancient Roman city before its destruction by the eruption of Vesuvius. Other notable works include Zanoni (1842), The Haunted and the Haunters (1859), and The Coming Race (1871), also known as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race.

Bulwer-Lytton is remembered for coining famous phrases such as "The pen is mightier than the sword" and for the famous opening "It was a dark and stormy night" in his novel Paul Clifford (1830). His influence endures in literature and popular culture, and his legacy has been the subject of study and revaluation in contemporary literary criticism.
