Description:

La novela debut de Alan Moore, autor best seller de Watchmen, V de Vendetta y Jerusalem. En esta historia llena de lujuria, locura y extasis, habitan doce personajes distintivos que vivieron en la misma region del centro de Inglaterra durante un periodo de seis mil anos. Sus narraciones se entrelazan a traves de acontecimientos recurrentes, extranas tradiciones y visiones misteriosas. El primero es un nino en una cueva, que ha perdido a su madre y que se enamorara y aprendera una leccion mortal. Le sigue un extraordinario elenco de personajes: una asesina que personifica a su victima, un pescador que cree haberse convertido en una especie diferente, un emisario romano que se da cuenta de la amarga verdad sobre el Imperio, una monja discapacitada que es curada milagrosamente por una perturbadora aparicion, un viejo cruzado cuya fe es destruida por el testimonio de la reliquia final, dos brujas, amantes, que queman en la hoguera Cada cuento interconectado traza un camino en un viaje de descubrimiento de los secretos de la tierra. / Master storyteller Alan Moore (Watchmen) delivers twelve interconnected stories of lust, madness, and ectasy, all set in central England and spanning over six thousand years, the narratives woven together in patterns of recurring events, strange traditions, and uncanny visions. First, a cave-boy loses his mother, falls in love, and learns a deadly lesson. He is followed by an extraordinary cast of characters: a murderess who impersonates her victim; a fisherman who believes he has become a different species; a Roman emissary who realizes the bitter truth about the Empire; a crippled nun who is healed miraculously by a disturbing apparition; an old crusader whose faith is destroyed by witnessing the ultimate relic; two witches, lovers, who burn at the stake. Each related tale traces a path in a journey of discovery of the secrets of the land. In the tradition of Kipling's Puck of Pook's Hill, Schwob's Imaginary Lives, and Borges' A Universal History of Infamy, Moore travels through history, blending truth and conjecture, in a novel that is dazzling, moving, sometimes tragic, but always mesmerizing.
