About this audiobook
Part local legend of a dark and dangerous Wolf-Leader, part childhood memories of his home near Villers-Cotterets, in Aisne, Dumas here penned a chilling supernaturlal encounter between man and the devil. Our hero, Thibault the shoemaker, is beaten on the orders of the Lord of Vez for hunting in the lord's forest. With Thibault's resentment at his treatment by the world at its height, the devil sees his chance and, in the guise of a wolf, proposes a deal which Thibault accepts; the ever available trade of one's soul for evil power. With a pack of demon possessed wolves at his command, Thibault begins to explore his new power tentatively, hesitant to do evil, but unable to help himself, the momentum of the tale grown in surprising and horrifying ways until the unexpected climax. (Summary by TimoleonWash)
Alexandre Dumas
De la pluma de Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) surgieron personajes que muy pronto dieron la vuelta al mundo, como Athos, Porthos, Aramis y el valeroso D’Artagnan, protagonistas de Los tres mosqueteros (1844-1850), o el implacable Edmond Dantès de El conde de Montecristo (1845-1846). El legendario Robin Hood, el joven de gran corazón que vive escondido en los bosques cercanos a Nottingham, sin embargo, nació en la cultura popular de la Inglaterra medieval, en donde también es conocido como Robin Longstride, de Locksley o de Loxley. En el siglo XIX su figura aparece con fuerza en diversas recreaciones y novelas, como la incluida en el Ivanhoe de Walter Scott (1820) o el Robin Hood and Little John de Pierce Egan, publicado por entregas en los periódicos (a. 1840). A estas siguió la aparición de nuestra obra, Le prince des voleurs, así como Robin Hood le proscrit, dos volúmenes publicados entre 1872 y 1873 atribuidos, de forma póstuma, a Alexandre Dumas.
