Audiobook

[Spanish] - Voces femeninas de lo sobrenatural Volumen I: Antología

"Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Durante mucho tiempo, la literatura victoriana —y, en particular, su vertiente gótica y fantástica— fue leída como un territorio casi exclusivamente masculino: poblado por nombres consagrados, firmes, autoritarios, asociados a una idea de genio literario que rara vez admitía fisuras. El gótico, lo sobrenatural y lo inquietante ofrecieron a las mujeres escritoras de la época algo que otros géneros les negaban: la posibilidad de hablar de poder, de miedo, de deseo, de opresión. En sus relatos, las casas se vuelven hostiles, las mentes se fragmentan, los sueños revelan verdades incómodas y el mal deja de ser una abstracción teológica para adquirir un rostro íntimo y cotidiano. Las autoras reunidas en esta antología —Catherine Crowe “Poseídos por demonios”, Edith Nesbit “La casa embrujada”, Anna Kingsford “La mujer encantada”, Mrs. Hugh Fraser (Mary Crawford Fraser) “La satanista”, Beatrice Heron-Maxwell “La piedra del diablo” y Ellen Glasgow “El sombrío tercer piso”— En un mundo que les imponía límites y les exigía silencio, escribieron, alcanzaron el éxito: publicaron, influyeron, fueron leídas, debatidas y, en algunos casos, temidas. ©2026/197A022026 Formato único audiolibro ™SelloNegro.esCultura ft Voz Humana ®bseal voice No se permite ni cede el uso de la voz, modulación, timbre, del narrador y/o su voz, para ser utilizados para alimentar, entrenar, simular o acciones similares, en programas o proyectos de inteligencia artificial (IA), robótica o cualquier metodología que utilice o transforme la voz grabada originalmente por el narrador. «Que estas páginas sirvan, entonces, no solo como testimonio de una época, sino como recordatorio de que el éxito literario —cuando se alcanza contra todas las barreras— no consiste en ocupar el centro del escenario, sino en dejar una huella perdurable en la imaginación colectiva. Estas autoras lo lograron.» ™SelloNegro.esCultura ft ®bseal voice"
