[Spanish] - La posada del mal hospedaje

El 25 de noviembre de 1562 nació en Madrid Lope Félix de Vega Carpio. Apodado el Fénix de los Ingenios por haber sido autor de más de 1.500 comedias en pleno cénit del Siglo de Oro español, la vida de Lope fue tan rica y variada como su obra. Reseña “La posada del mal hospedaje”, que también podemos leer con el título de “El misterio de Pánfilo”, , publicado en el año 1604, fue citado por el autor inglés George Borrow (1803-1881) como “el mejor cuento de fantasmas del mundo”. Borrow es conocido, entre otros libros, por su libro La Biblia en España. Aunque podemos entender el texto como un relato corto con entidad propia, en realidad “La posada del mal hospedaje” es un fragmento de la novela de Lope El peregrino en su patria, que narra las peripecias de una pareja que quiere casarse,, un asunto nada sencillo… La narración parte de la llegada de Pánfilo a un hospital oscuro, un lugar más bien siniestro que, bien mirado, es efectivamente “una posada de mal hospedaje”. ¡Prepárate para cualquier cosa!

Lope De Vega (Author), Alfredo Giménez (Narrator)

The Vengeful Victim

'Marlowe! Here! Now!' screamed Lando King the editor and owner of the Newspaper where Jim Marlowe worked as a reporter. 'Sounds like you got Lando really angry, said his friend Lance Alexander, who also worked there. 'Yeah,' Jim said and rushed off to their boss's office to see Lando. Jim timidly opened Lando's office door and walked scaredly into the room. 'Marlowe what took you so long to get here, did you come here via Tasmania?' shouted Lando. Jim grimaced nervously. 'No sir,' said Jim, thinking it must have been the article he wrote for yesterday's paper. It was. 'How dare you try to put such idealistic tripe in my paper,' shouted Lando, throwing a pile of papers at Jim. They were the article he submitted for editing and the notes on it. 'It wasn't tripe, Sir, it was the truth,' Jim shouted back. It was his second mistake talking back to Lando the control freak. 'The Earth does go round the Sun it's scientific a fact!' the livid Jim shouted. 'You precocious upstart,' said the skeptical Lando, 'get out of my newspaper!' shouted Lando. 'See you tomorrow, Mr. King, when you have calmed down a bit,' said Jim. 'No you are fired, never stain my floors and paper again,' shouted a furious Lando. 'No you can't fire me I quit,' shouted Jim.
