La llave de plata

Escrito por H. P. Lovecraft

Narrado por Alejandro Gonzalez

Idealista, de talante romántico y sensible, inquieto intelectual y espiritualmente cansado de las prisas y de la pérdida de valores de una sociedad cada vez más caótica y vacía de moralidad, el joven protagonista buscará a la desesperada nuevos conocimientos, corrientes filosóficas, movimientos intelectuales, que le llenen el vacío existencial que cada vez, le hace la vida más insoportable. Cansado de buscar, se refugia en libros extraños de ciencias y saberes ocultos y/o mágicos, que le proporcionarán la posibilidad de recuperar su "esencia", su identidad y espiritualidad perdidas, pero pagando un precio muy alto por ello.

H. P. Lovecraft

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American author of science fiction and horror stories. Born in Providence, Rhode Island to a wealthy family, he suffered the loss of his father at a young age. Raised with his mother’s family, he was doted upon throughout his youth and found a paternal figure in his grandfather Whipple, who encouraged his literary interests. He began writing stories and poems inspired by the classics and by Whipple’s spirited retellings of Gothic tales of terror. In 1902, he began publishing a periodical on astronomy, a source of intellectual fascination for the young Lovecraft. Over the next several years, he would suffer from a series of illnesses that made it nearly impossible to attend school. Exacerbated by the decline of his family’s financial stability, this decade would prove formative to Lovecraft’s worldview and writing style, both of which depict humanity as cosmologically insignificant. Supported by his mother Susie in his attempts to study organic chemistry, Lovecraft eventually devoted himself to writing poems and stories for such pulp and weird-fiction magazines as Argosy, where he gained a cult following of readers. Early stories of note include “The Alchemist” (1916), “The Tomb” (1917), and “Beyond the Wall of Sleep” (1919). “The Call of Cthulu,” originally published in pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928, is considered by many scholars and fellow writers to be his finest, most complex work of fiction. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Machen, Algernon Blackwood, and Lord Dunsany, Lovecraft became one of the century’s leading horror writers whose influence remains essential to the genre.

Pésima lectura de un estupendo texto. Lamentable que eso suceda.

Relato corto pero que deja pensando en la existencia de otros mundos a nuestro alrededor y en lo agobiante que es ser adulto y perder esa capacidad de imaginacion y de sorprendernos.

[Manuel Covarrubias · Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas]

Terrible. La pronunciación y errores en la narración son vastos y molestos.
