( ) This is one of those very short stories with the potential of being a much longer work. In some respects, it feels rushed, but this gives the narrative a fast pace, which I like. The theme with the old woman training a dog to be a killer is something that’s cropped in certain TV shows & films that I’ve seen over the years. This is another piece of literature I’ve read that alludes to someone crying “silent tears”. I always find this phrase silly, as it suggests that tears can also be noisy. You can cry silently or loudly, but tears themselves are always silent. no reviews | add a review
La vendetta y otros cuentos de horror reúne catorce relatos escritos entre junio de 1882 y febrero de 1890, los años más fecundos de Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893). Junto a la presencia de la muerte, en forma de asesinato o suicidio, otros temas habituales en la narrativa del autor francés ingresan en las tramas argumentales como trasfondo de los comportamientos, como motivo del crimen o como incidencias laterales: el medio, el ambiente rural, los celos, la bastardía (la figura del hijo natural y los problemas sociales, morales y hereditarios de la filiación ilegítima), las ideas sobre el amor y el matrimonio, la rebelión contra Dios en nombre de una luciferina voluntad de negación, etc. (Descripción del editor.
