Los Mares Grises Sueñan Con Mi Muerte
William Hope Hodgson was born on November 15, 1877 in Blackmore End, Essex, England. At thirteen, he escaped from a boarding school in Margate with the intention of becoming a sailor. After four years of apprenticeship and four years as a professional, Hodgson got to know the marine life in depth, before leaving disappointed. In June of 1905 publishes in the Grand Magazine the tale A tropical horror, its first incursion in the marine terrors. Hodgson managed to live, poorly enough, his stories, lectures, photographs and scientific articles. Shortly after the outbreak of World War I, he enters active duty as lieutenant of the British army. In October 1917 he was sent to France with his company, and in April 1918 a German howitzer erased him from the face of the earth: he was forty years old. Throughout his brief literary career, he wrote a hundred stories and four novels: The Glen Carrig Boats (1907), The House at the Edge of the Earth (1908), The Ghost Pirates (1909) and The Kingdom of The night (1912) (all of them, except the last, published in Valdemar). The literary mastery of William Hope Hodgson becomes especially evident in his stories of the sea, in particular those of terrifying or supernatural subject. A voice at night, The Abandoned Ship, From the Sea Without Tides, The Stone Ship, Sea Demons, and 30 other stories collected in this volume, show us Hodgson"s ability to evoke tragic, supernatural and unhealthy images and environments , And to make us feel the loneliness of their characters and the insignificance of their devenirs in the immensity of a mysterious and unknown ocean. They complete the edition a small selection of his poems of the sea, a Diary of aboard and an interesting article-tale, Through the vortex of a hurricane (with photographs realized by own Hodgson).
