Synopsis "Impostura (in Spanish)"
The first in a series of three novels based upon actual episodes in Lord Byron’s life, this engrossing tale is full of ambition, seduction, and historical legacy. Studious young Eliza Esmond is overjoyed when she meets a man whom she believes to be Lord Byron and he begins to pursue her. What she is unaware of is that this man is actually John Polidori, Byron’s former personal doctor who is also, however, the true author of the latest success credited to Byron: the story “The Vampyre,” envisioned during the same summer gathering of intellectuals in 1816 during which Mary Shelley’s idea for Frankenstein was born. Intricately weaving fiction with historical fact, this book debates who is more of an imposter, John Polidori or Lord Byron. El primero de una serie de tres novelas basadas en episodios reales de la vida de Lord Byron, este relato fascinante está lleno de ambición, seducción y legado histórico. La joven estudiosa Eliza Esmond está encantada cuando conoce a un hombre que ella cree que es Lord Byron y quien la comienza a perseguir. Lo que ella no sabe es que este hombre en realidad es John Polidori, el ex médico personal de Byron, que es también, sin embargo, el autor verdadero del éxito más reciente atribuido a Byron: el cuento “El vampiro,” ideado durante la misma reunión de intelectuales en 1816 en la cual nació la idea de Mary Shelley para Frankenstein. Tejiendo intrincadamente la ficción con los hechos históricos, este libro debate quién es más impostor, John Polidori o Lord Byron.
