Sinopsis

When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year 802,701 AD, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man, he soon realises that this beautiful people are simply remnants of a once-great culture - now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. They have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity - the sinister Morlocks. And when the scientist's time machine vanishes, it becomes clear he must search these tunnels, if he is ever to return to his own era.

Ellos habían entrado en la etapa del enfriamiento, y ya no tenían animales, ni plantas ni diferencia en las estaci...

    Escrita en 1897, poco después de "La máquina del tiempo" (publicada también en esta colección), "El hombre invisible" -cuyo protagonista ha alcanzado, como Drácula o Frankenstein, un lugar en el imaginario del mundo moderno- da forma definitiva a uno de los motivos que habrían de cobrar más relieve, y en cierto sentido hacerse pavorosa realidad, en el siglo XX: el del uso irref...

  • The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant
    Gallant, Mavis / Hallberg, Garth Risk / Hallberg, Garth Risk
    Mavis Gallant’s extraordinary mastery of the short story remains insufficiently recognized. She may be the best writer of stories since the early-1950s prime of John Cheever, Eudora Welty, and Flannery O’Connor, and even in such august company, her work is sui generis. Gallant’s short fiction refines the art of the story even as it expands the boundaries of what a story can be....
