Vampiros Carmilla y otras vampiras (Boxset vampiros nº 3)

Rate this book
El vampiro es un mito universal y atemporal que representa los impulsos e instintos humanos reprimidos más primitivos. Es el lado salvaje del hombre y por tanto está en continuo conflicto con el lado social y religioso. En la literatura del siglo XVIII, el vampiro es ante todo la manifestación del deseo sexual, un hambre prohibida, imposible de apagar, que ninguna moralidad puede domesticar. Suele ser un amante que vuelve de la muerte para estar con su amado o amada para vampirizarlo y poder pasar la eternidad juntos. Desde el primer vampiro de cierta importancia que surge con John W. Polidori, El vampiro, un cuento (1816), que establece la imagen prototípica del noble vampiro. Su Lord Ruthven era altivo, brillante, estremecedor, fascinante para las mujeres y fríamente malvado.

Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann, better known by his pen name E. T. A. Hoffmann (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann), was a German Romantic author of fantasy and horror, a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's famous opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffman appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero. He is also the author of the novella The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, on which the famous ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.

Hoffmann's stories were very influential during the 19th century, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement.
