| Publisher Description: Un relato in dito de Sylvia Plath. Edici n ilustrada de una historia aleg rica y oscura sobre la liberaci n femenina. Mary se despide de sus padres en la estaci n. Tiene que coger un tren con destino a un misterioso noveno reino, aunque ella no se siente preparada para viajar y dejar su familia atr s. Finalmente, ante las insistencias de sus padres, sube, y entabla conversaci n con una mujer mayor que parece haber hecho el mismo viaje muchas veces: algo realmente inusual. Lo que empieza como una historia inocente se convierte gradualmente en una pesadilla siniestra, donde el significado del viaje se adivina detr s de cada l nea de di logo y detr s de los enigm ticos razonamientos de esa mujer que acompa a a Mary en su viaje de descubrimiento, terror y liberaci n. Sylvia Plath escribi este escalofriante relato cuando ten a veinte a os; una maravillosa muestra del talento de la autora, que m s tarde aplicar a a sus poemas y a su novela, La campana de cristal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Never before published, this newly discovered story by literary legend Sylvia Plath stands on its own and is remarkable for its symbolic, allegorical approach to a young woman's rebellion against convention and forceful taking control of her own life. Written while Sylvia Plath was a student at Smith College in 1952, Mary Ventura and The Ninth Kingdom tells the story of a young woman's fateful train journey. Lips the color of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like "guilt, and guilt, and guilt" these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on her journey to the ninth kingdom. "But what is the ninth kingdom?" she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. "It is the kingdom of the frozen will," comes the reply. "There is no going back." Sylvia Plath's strange, dark tale of female agency and independence, written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion. |
