Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu delivers a powerful tale of revenge, destiny, and moral reckoning, blending folklore with Gothic terror. Atmospheric and tragic, this story reflects the darker heart of 19th-century romantic fiction.

"The shadows of Cappercullen hold more than just memories; they hold the restless spirits of those we betrayed."Returning to the rugged landscape of Munster, Le Fanu weaves a tale of the doomed De Lacy family. Ultor De Lacy, a man whose family was ruined by their loyalty to the lost Jacobite cause, lives a shadow of a life in the decaying Tower of Cappercullen. But the physical ruin of his estate is nothing compared to the spiritual rot within. When his daughters encounter a mysterious and beautiful stranger in the woods, they unknowingly reopen a door to a supernatural debt that has remained unpaid for generations. It is a story where political exile meets ghostly visitation, proving that for the De Lacys, the war never truly ended.History Haunted by Myth: Le Fanu brilliantly utilizes the real-world tension of the 18th-century Jacobite rebellions to ground his ghost story. The "legend" isnt just a campfire tale; it is a manifestation of the trauma of a defeated aristocracy. The ghosts of Cappercullen are symbols of a bygone era that refuses to die or stay silent.The "Stranger" in the Woods: A recurring theme in Le Fanus work is the deceptive nature of the supernatural. The figure who haunts the periphery of the De Lacy estate is both alluring and terrifying, representing the "Otherworld" of Irish folklore. The story explores the vulnerability of innocence when faced with an ancient, calculating evil.Atmospheric Mastery: From the "death-tick" in the walls to the chilling descriptions of the secret chamber hidden within the tower, Le Fanu builds a sense of mounting dread. Ultor De Lacy is a masterclass in the "liminal" ghost storywhere the horror is found in the transition between the historical world we know and the spectral world we fear.Step into the tower of shadows.

Los cantos que integran Espigas de maíz rojo son nuevos, pero el pensamiento es muy antiguo, surge del lugar donde tomó su primer aliento el hombre maya: la milpa.Los términos que emplea Pedro Uc, Siipkuuts -su nombre de lucha-, nacieron alrededor de la milpa, son voces del monte, de los animales, de los pajaros, de los insectos y de los colores del maiz y las flores.Muchas personas hablan la lengua maya hoy en dia, pero no muchos la leen. Esta es una de las dificultades a franquear por quienes leeran el texto de Pedro Uc que, aunque tiene una traduccion al castellano, a veces no alcanza el impetu que tiene en la lengua maya. Muchos leeran esta obra, la mayoria en castellano, y a todos les queremos decir: ¡vengan, por favor, vengan a conocer la milpa, vengan a conocer la manera en la que se cuida la madre tierra, vamos a aprender a observar como brota la vida en el monte!Jose Natividad Ic Xec, el Chilam Balam
