Synopsis "Los mil y un Fantasmas (in Spanish)"

Lo sobrenatural y lo fantástico son, en el siglo XIX, literatura, y se impone con fuerza extraordinaria durante el Romanticismo. Alexandre Dumas, maestro de la novela histórica, no dejó escapar la oportunidad de someter a su desbordante poder de fabulación las leyendas, cuentos, episodios y escenas, que sus anfitriones le fueron contando en sus viajes por Europa, el Próximo Oriente o África del Norte. El resultado de esa mezcla es esta recopilación de relatos que, bajo la denominación de Los mil y un fantasmas, se estructuran y cuentan al modo de Las mil y una noches: una partida de caza lleva al protagonista-el propio autor- a presenciar y firmar el atestado de un asesinato; el criminal está aterrorizado de miedo porque la cabeza de la muerta, una vez separada del cuerpo, le ha mordido. Más tarde, cada uno de los integrantes de la partida de caza, sentados alrededor de la mesa, contará un relato sobrecogedor, protagonizado por él mismo o vivido muy de cerca. Dumas se confiesa entonces escribano de las diversas historias que se relatan.

Alexandre Dumas is one of the most prolific and popular authors from France. He was born in 1802 in the city of Villers-Cotterets, and soon moved to Paris to work as a secretary for the Duke of Orléans. There, he completed his education on his own and began to take an interest in writing.
He started by writing plays, and then moved on to poems and long stories. However, his real success did not come until 1844, the year he released the work that would catapult him to fame: The Three Musketeers. The serial publication of this novel brought him a huge sum of money, but it also meant countless hours of work, many collaborators, and the production of up to eighty installments to meet the growing public demand.
After the publication of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas amassed a great fortune. However, his hedonistic nature led him to squander all he had earned and he soon found himself forced to exile in Belgium to escape his French creditors.
The Count of Monte Cristo, the pinnacle of the author's narrative, is considered one of the greatest adventure novels of all time.
