«Sentada en su trono, la condesa mira torturar y oye gritar. Sus viejas y horribles sirvientas son figuras silenciosas que traen fuego, cuchillos, agujas, atizadores; que torturan muchachas, que luego las entierran. Como el atizador o los cuchillos, esas viejas son instrumentos de una posesión. Esta sombría ceremonia tiene una sola espectadora silenciosa.» Acusada del asesinato de seiscientas cincuenta jóvenes, Erzsebét Bathory es una de las criminales más siniestras de la Historia. En su castillo de los Cárpatos, a finales de siglo XVII, la condesa se cierne sobre sus víctimas para desangrarlas y conservar su juventud. Su leyenda maldita y fascinante pervive en el tiempo. La condesa sangrienta es una de las composiciones clave de Alejandra Pizarnik, sus páginas construyen un retrato perturbador del sadismo y la locura que las estampas del artista Santiago Caruso recrea con admirable maestría.

Ugly Duckling Presse, 2014. Trade Paperback. New. New. In 1962, Pizarnik published her fourth collection, Diana's Tree, the book that would both change and establish her poetic voice, and it contained the slimmest verses the poet would ever write. It also carried a glowing introduction by Octavio Paz, who by that point served as a prominent Mexican diplomat in Paris and had become a leader of the city's expatriate literary circles. Diana's Tree, wrote Paz, was a feat of alchemical prowess, a work of precocious linguistic transparency that let off "a luminous heat that could burn, smelt or even vaporize its skeptics." ~ Publisher.
