Beschreibung

Esta edición incluye la siguiente introducción elaborada por el editor: Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, el impacto político e histórico de un gran literato con repercusión internacional 


Publicada en 1892, “La bodega" es una novela naturalista del escritor español Vicente Blasco Ibáñez en la que es evidente la influencia de Zola. Pertenece al grupo de las llamadas novelas sociales en las que el escritor refleja su preocupación por los problemas del país. En concreto, “La bodega” se sitúa en Jerez de la Frontera, ciudad del vino y de ricos terratenientes, y presenta al lector una fuerte crítica social a los señoritos que explotaban a los jornaleros, a la religión que ayudaba a mantener ese estatus, al propio vino que embrutece y nubla la conciencia del pueblo y al absurdo reparto de las tierras andaluzas.

“La bodega” centra la historia en Fernando Salvatierra, Fermín Montenegro, su padre, su hermana y su novio Rafael y las relaciones que mantienen con los amos y señores, los poderosos Dupont. A través de la familia protagonista, la novela describe con maestría la vida miserable de los jornaleros y gañanes de Jerez, siempre encorvados sobre la vid de sol a sol, por dos míseros reales de jornal, y tres raciones de pan al día sin ninguna esperanza de mejorar su suerte. Una esclavitud azuzada por el hambre que les agota toda su fuerza y vigor, y que debido a la mala alimentación a los treinta o treinta y cinco años parece que tuvieran cincuenta, no siendo contratados entonces, y prefiriendo los dueños de las viñas a los muchachos y muchachas muy jóvenes para seguir explotando lo único que tienen: su salud y juventud.

    If someone had asked Sherlock Holmes later in the year, there is little doubt that he would have said his life began that spring day in 1871 when he met Violet Rushdale upon the moors and ended in the winter some months distant. His mother would have disputed the former claim, and many, both friend and foe, would come to deny the latter. Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become. It is well known that the toughest steel that makes the sharpest swords must be plunged into the fire, then beaten and reshaped. So it is as well with the best and wisest of men. 
    The Crack in the Lens tells the tale of how and WHY a young Sherlock Holmes forged himself into the Great Detective.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
