Prince Zaleski

Autor M. P. Shiel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2006
Este volumen recoge los seis cuentos de que se tiene noticia protagonizados por el misterioso principe Zaleski, una de las mas afortunadas creaciones de Shiel, que en algunas ocasiones trabajo en colaboracion con John Gawsworth. Zaleski es un personaje singular entre los detectives literarios: un aristocrata decadentista, de quien se insinua apenas la homosexualidad, que pasa buena parte de su existencia en una habitacion en la penumbra fumando hachis o opio; sin embargo, cuando se le plantea un enigma pone en marcha toda su erudicion y sus excepcionales dotes deductivas y, para sorpresa del lector, llega a conclusiones de una logica aplastante. La edicion se complementa y enriquece con un iluminador estudio introductorio de Brian Stableford y un breve ensayo de R.B. Russell acerca de la colaboracion entre Gawsworth y Shiel.

Notă biografică

Matthew Phipps Shiell (1865 - 1947) - known as M. P. Shiel - was a prolific British writer of West Indian descent. His legal surname remained "Shiell" though he adopted the shorter version as a de facto pen name. He is remembered mostly for supernatural horror and scientific romances. His work was published as serials, novels and as short stories. The Purple Cloud (1901, revised 1929) remains his most famous and often reprinted novel. Around 1899-1900 Shiel conceived a loosely linked trilogy of novels which were described by David G. Hartwell in his introduction to the Gregg Press edition of The Purple Cloud as possibly the first future history series in science fiction. Each was linked by similar introductory frame purporting to show that the novels were visions of progressively more distant futures glimpsed by a clairvoyant in a trance. Notebook I of the series had been plotted at least by 1898, but would not see print until published as The Last Miracle (1906). Notebook II became The Lord of the Sea (1901), which was recognized by contemporary readers as a critique of private ownership of land based on the theories of Henry George.
