Synopsis "El Castillo De Eppstein (Spanish Edition) (in Spanish)"

es una novela gótica de Alejandro Dumas, publicada en 1843. Esta historia es la primera incursión de Alejandro Dumas en la novela gótica, y posee todos los ingredientes y convenciones del género. La trama se desarrolla en 1789, en el terrorífico castillo de Eppstein, ubicado en las montañas Taunus, al norte de Frankfurt, Alemania. Allí se nos presentan los conflictos de la antigua y aristocrática familia Eppstein. Albina, una integrante del clan, es asesinada por su amante, quien duda sobre la paternidad de su hijo. El fantasma de Albina continúa rondando por el castillo, reuniéndose con su pequeño y entrando en una extraña comunión mística con los bosques circundantes. Finalmente, el espectro tiene un encuentro directo con el asesino y sus aberrantes circunstancias. En cuanto a la narrativa, El castillo de Eppstein se destaca por un pasaje genial, donde Maximilian descubre con horror los huesos de la mano de Albina. Detalle típico de las historias góticas, pero que Alejandro Dumas logra encarar de un modo completamente novedoso.

Alexandre Dumas is one of the most prolific and popular authors from France. He was born in 1802 in the city of Villers-Cotterets, and soon moved to Paris to work as a secretary for the Duke of Orléans. There, he completed his education on his own and began to take an interest in writing.
He started by writing plays, and then moved on to poems and long stories. However, his real success did not come until 1844, the year he released the work that would catapult him to fame: The Three Musketeers. The serial publication of this novel brought him a huge sum of money, but it also meant countless hours of work, many collaborators, and the production of up to eighty installments to meet the growing public demand.
After the publication of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas amassed a great fortune. However, his hedonistic nature led him to squander all he had earned and he soon found himself forced to exile in Belgium to escape his French creditors.
The Count of Monte Cristo, the pinnacle of the author's narrative, is considered one of the greatest adventure novels of all time.
