Synopsis "El Inventor de Palabras (in Spanish)"

La vida de Julius Winsome, en una remota cabana de los bosques de Maine, ha acabado pareciendose al paisaje que lo rodea: silencioso, lejos de todo, aislado, inescrutable. Pero cuando su perro, Hobbes, muere a manos de un cazador, en un descuido o en un acto de crueldad, la vida de Julius, ya en la cincuentena, da un vuelco. Precisamente, Hobbes es lo unico que le queda de un antiguo y fugaz amor. En adelante tendra por toda compania el rifle que heredo de su padre y este, a su vez, de su abuelo, que lucho durante la primera guerra mundial, y los innumerables libros que cubren las paredes de la cabana. Porque lectura no solo le procura consuelo, sino tambien inspiracion para convertirse en un «inventor de palabras», a imitacion de su admirado William Shakespeare. Pese a todo, la melancolia en que le sume la muerte de Hobbes le llevara a un punto sin retorno, en el que empieza a cobrar forma la idea de venganza. / Living alone with his dog in a remote cabin in the Maine woods, Julius Winsome is as remote, and isolated as the barren winter lands that he inhabits. But when his dog Hobbes is killed by hunters, their carelessness--or is it cruelty?--sets Julius's precarious mindset on end. More and more, simply and furtively, it is revenge that is creeping into his mind. Fresh snow is on the ground as the hunters lumber into his sights. They're well within the old gun's range. They pause, and they're locked into the crosshairs. Julius's finger traces the trigger. Will he pull it? And what will that accomplish? What if he simply has nothing left to lose?
