Una de las historias de fantasmas más inquietantes que se han escrito jamás. El clásico de Henry James que ha inspirado la serie La maldición de Bly Manor.
Otra vuelta de tuerca, la gran obra maestra de Henry James, es capaz de tejer una atmósfera inquietante y una tensión insoportable. Una joven institutriz es enviada a una casa de campo para hacerse cargo de dos niños huérfanos, Miles y Flora. Inquieta por un presagio oscuro dentro de casa, empieza a creer que algo o alguien malévolo está acechando a los niños. ¿Se trata de una presencia maligna y fantasmal o de una manifestación de algo completamente diferente?
Este relato se ha convertido en una de las historias de fantasmas más célebres de la historia y sus misterios están abiertos a una interpretación sin fin. Con una suprema habilidad, James se atreve a poner en duda la imagen de la infancia como momento inocente y paradisíaco, y consigue llevar el horror sobrenatural un paso más allá. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the most unsettling ghost stories ever written. The classic by Henry James that inspired the series The Haunting of Bly Manor.
The Turn of the Screw, Henry James's masterpiece, masterfully weaves an eerie atmosphere and unbearable tension. A young governess is sent to a country estate to care for two orphaned children, Miles and Flora. Disturbed by a dark omen within the house, she begins to suspect that something--or someone--malevolent is haunting the children. Is it a ghostly presence or a manifestation of something entirely different?
This tale has become one of the most celebrated ghost stories in literary history, and its mysteries remain open to endless interpretation. With supreme skill, James dares to question the notion of childhood as an innocent, idyllic time, pushing supernatural horror to a deeper, more psychological level.

The hi...

  • ITALIAN HOURS
    HENRY JAMES
    Italian Hours ends with the phrase, "the luxury of loving Italy," and everything in the book indicates that James enjoyed this luxury to the fullest. But he was by no means a blind lover. His opening essay on Venice, for instance, doesn't gloss over the sad conditions of life for the city's people: "Their habitations are decayed; their taxes heavy; their pockets light; their op...
