LA FLECHA NEGRA: century / carroggio

by Robert Louis Stevenson

En la Inglaterra del siglo XV dos nobles familias se disputan el poder de la los Lancaster y los de York. Era una batalla entre nobles con sus vasallos, que se declinaban por una u otra familia sin otro objetivo político que conquistar la fortuna a través de la victoria de la familia a la que defendían. Los campesinos y la gente sencilla del pueblo, ajenos a la lucha de los nobles, sufren injustamente los desmanes y atropellos de la situación. De ahí surge la banda de "La Flecha Negra", un grupo de hombres organizados para hacer justicia a su manera.

About the author

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.

Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.
