Synopsis "gaspard de la nuit"

Gaspard de la Nuit (originally published in 1842) combines the haunting Gothic imagery of ETA Hoffman with the colorful romantic verve of Victor Hugo. In it, you will meet Scarbo the vampire dwarf, Ondine, the faerie princess of the waters, and an unforgettable assortment of lepers, alchemists, beggars, swordsmen and ghosts. Gaspard de la Nuit inspired Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, the Surrealist Movement and composer Maurice Ravel, who wrote a suite of virtuoso piano pieces patterned after it. This new edition has been entirely retranslated by renowned poet and literary historian Donald Sidney-Fryer, the author of Songs and Sonnets Atlantean who has edited four collections of prose and poetry by Clark Ashton Smith. In his extensive introduction and afterword, Sidney-Fryer retraces the steps in Bertrand's life, casts a new light on his works and follows the elusive Gaspard from the Three Kings of Bethlehem to Casper the Friendly Ghost. This collection features a foreword by T.E.D. Klein and is illustrated by drawings from Bertand himself.

View Author's Page
T. E. D. Klein (nacido como Thomas Eugene Disch Klein en 1947, Estados Unidos) es un escritor y editor estadounidense reconocido por su aportación a la literatura de terror y fantasía oscura. Aunque su producción literaria no es extensa, su obra es considerada de culto dentro del género por su estilo cuidado, atmosférico y profundamente inquietante. Klein se caracteriza por desarrollar un horror sutil y psicológico, influenciado por la tradición de autores como H. P. Lovecraft, pero con una mirada moderna y urbana.

Su novela más conocida es The Ceremonies (1984), una expansión de su relato largo The Events at Poroth Farm. En estas obras combina el horror cósmico con el folclore rural estadounidense, creando una atmósfera opresiva que explora fuerzas antiguas y desconocidas.

Además de su labor como escritor, Klein fue editor de la revista The Twilight Zone Magazine, donde impulsó nuevas voces del terror y la fantasía. Su estilo destaca por la construcción lenta de tensión y el uso de lo cotidiano como puerta hacia lo sobrenatural.

Aunque publica con poca frecuencia, T. E. D. Klein es considerado una figura influyente en el terror literario contemporáneo.
