Greifenstein

Серия: "-"

Greifenstein saw before him a tall man, with abundant white hair and a snowy beard, of bronzed complexion, evidently strong in spite of his years, chiefly remarkable for the heavy black eyebrows that shaded his small grey eyes. The latter were placed too near together, and the eyelids slanted downwards at the outer side, which gave the face an expression of intelligence and great cunning. Deep lines furrowed the high forehead, and descended inbroad curves from beneath the eyes till they lost themselves in the beard. Kuno von Rieseneck was evidently a man of strong feelings and passions, of energetic temperament, clever, unscrupulous, but liable to go astray after strange ideas, and possibly capable of something very like fanaticism. Книга представляет собой репринтное издание 1893 года (издательство "New York; London: Macmillan and co." ). Несмотря на то, что была проведена серьезная работа по восстановлению первоначального качества издания, на некоторых страницах могут обнаружиться небольшие" огрехи" :помарки, кляксы и т. п.

Francis Marion Crawford (2 de agosto de 1854 – 9 de abril de 1909) fue un escritor estadounidense, autor de gran número de novelas y de cuentos de terror.

Nació en Bagni di Lucca, Italia, hijo de un escultor estadounidense. Su tía era la poetisa Julia Ward Howe. Estudió en las universidades de Cambridge, Heidelberg y Roma.

En 1879 partió a la India, donde estudió sánscrito. De vuelta a Estados Unidos, publicó, en 1882, su primera novela, Mr. Isaacs. En 1883 regresó a Italia, donde instaló su residencia permanente, lo que dio a su obra un giro original con respecto a sus contemporáneos.

Siguió publicando novelas con éxito, al tiempo que trabajos históricos: Ave Roma Immortalis (1898), Rulers of the South (1900), renombrada Sicily, Calabria and Malta en 1904, y Gleanings from Venetian History (1905).

Sus obras se ven repletas de vitalidad histórica y muestran una efectiva caracterización dramática. Gran conocedor de su país de adopción, Crawford fue el primer autor en abordar el tema de la Mafia en la literatura: Corleone (1897). Son de importancia las obras: Khaled: A Tale of Arabia, la historia de un genio que se hace humano. A Cigarette-maker's Romance, que fue adaptada al teatro, y el drama de 1902 Francesca da Rimini, interpretado en París por la actriz Sarah Bernhardt.

Algunos de sus cuentos de terror han sido incluidos a menudo en las antologías: "The Upper Berth" (El camarote superior) (1894), "For the Blood Is the Life" (1911, de vampiros) y "The Screaming Skull" (1911).

Crawford murió en Sorrento, Italia, en 1909, de un ataque cardíaco.
