Synopsis "Hexmoor (in Spanish)"

La esperada segunda edición de HEXMOOR, la obra de Eduardo Mazzitelli y Quique Alcatena, que nos lleva a pasear por los suburbios de Old Albion y desde allí, a lugares inimanigables.
Hexmoor es uno de los títulos más pedidos y uno de los que nunca había tenido reedición. Para quienes no conocen este libro, podemos contarles que tiene como protagonista a Lord Aubrey Hexmoor, la "gema" más preciada de una familia muy particular de Old Albion. Es un aventurero, un revolucionario, un irreverente, acostumbrado a salvarse siempre a último momento de la muerte. Una viñeta lo define, en el primer capítulo, cuando le piden reconsiderar batirse a duelo de pistolas con Lord Pierce debido a que había insultado a una amiga, diciendo: "‘Prostituta’ es una manera bastante acertada para referirse a mi amiga. Pero palabras como ‘vieja’ y ‘gorda’ no deben ser dichas sobre ninguna mujer”.
Pero su ya intrépida vida se encontrará con algo que modificará sus días: Ferrifand Farfullol Furrien, el muñeco de madera más extraordinario y espeluznante del universo, capaz de detectar los deseos más profundos de sus amos y llevarlos a cabo… Por más que ellos no lo deseen. Y ahora, el amo es Lord Aubrey. Los barrios bajos de Old Albion serán el escenario inicial, para luego transportar a nuestros protagonistas —no solo los mencionados, sino los tantísimos otros que irán apareciendo— por un sinfín de lugares inimaginables. Como siempre, la prosa de Mazzitelli es poesía pura y las ilustraciones de Alcatena, representan un arte apoteósico.

Una vez más, Mazzitelli y Alcatena se acogen a las virtudes de la “ucronía”, es decir, una novela histórica alternativa, donde los hechos de la epopeya humana no han transcurrido de la misma manera que conocemos, y sí presentan sutiles (y no tan sutiles) variaciones. Por eso en Hexmoor desfilan autómatas, prodigios, viajes espaciales, célebres personajes y toda esa maravilla que las mentes de esta venerable dupla ha sabido poner en páginas de historieta para nuestro perpetuo deleite.
