“"Pueblo chico, infierno grande"
Es un libro extenso, con demasiadas descripciones de plantas, DE-MA-CIA-DAS...
Creo que la parte más interesante empieza por la página 300... Lo cual, en mi opinión es demasiado...
Creo que el libro pudo hacerse en 500 páginas, pero no ... Tenía que estar lleno de versos compuestos por Emily, la descripción de las plantas fue más de que lo que podía soportar,
Leí en varios comentarios que Emily se la vive llorando, si es cierto aunque eso lo entiendo dada su situación, sin embargo también se la vive desfallecida, perdiendo fuerza en las piernas y siendo una "damisela en peligro"
Lo mejor de todo el libro, en efecto es su estancia en el castillo de Udolfo, la cuál está llena de intrigas, misterios y acción.
¿Volvería a leerlo? No.
Supongo que fue todo un éxito porque fue publicado en diferentes volumenes entonces no fue tan pesado leerlo por partes, pero yo sinceramente no veía el final... Todo el final de sintió apresurado, todo se conecta entre si, muy rebuscado.”
“Was a struggle I’ll be honest it is SO long”
About Ann Radcliffe
The first lady of Gothic fiction, Ann Radcliffe (1764–1823) had
among her devotees Jane Austen, Mary and Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and
Matthew Lewis to name but a few. Her darkly mysterious romances explore
far-off locations, where the supernatural lurks behind every pine tree,
where she takes her characters and readers on a journey through tangled
forests and ruined castles, deep into the very heart of desire. The Mysteries of Udolpho
is perhaps her best known work, a work of such influential nature in
shaping the early Gothic genre that it is even parodied in Jane Austen’s
Northanger Abbey.
