Synopsis "La Casa Encantada (in Spanish)"

Con La Casa Encantada, Wilkie Collins nos brinda un relato realmente inquietante, misterioso y apasionante en el que parecen intervenir fuerzas enigmáticas del Más Allá y resonar ecos ahogados de ultratumba. Cuando la condesa Narona decidió visitar al doctor Wybrow, éste le aseguró que su razón no estaba alterada ni a punto de estarlo, pero lo cierto es que se había cometido un crimen, en circunstancias harto extrañas, en la Casa Encantada. Un crimen horrible cuya pista deberá el lector ir rastreando hasta el final de la obra, donde se planteará con Collins la siguiente pregunta: ¿Existe realmente una explicación al misterio de la Casa Encantada? Que cada cual se interrogeu a sí mismo si existe una explicación al misterio de su propia vida... y de su propia muerte.

(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.
