Lecturas: Orgullo Prejuicio y Zombies

Orgullo y Prejuicio y Zombies

Jane Austen y Seth Grahame-Smith
384 páginas Rústica 16€
Umbrel

No os lo voy a negar, mi primera impresión al ver la portada de esta novela fue de absoluta estupefacción, junto a la sorpresa más absoluta al pensar que a alguna mente enferma se le había ocurrido hacer una reescritura del clásico de Jane Austen añadiendo zombies a la mezcla ¡¡¡y no era la mía!!!. Pero claro, en un mundo en el que ya no se respeta nada, y hasta permiten hacer una secuela del magnífico Drácula de Bran Stoker a uno por ser su sobrino-nieto... pues ya podemos esperar cualquier cosa.

Y claro, no me p ude resistir, aunque solo fuera por ver si realmente era tan absurdo y estúpido como parecía en un principio... y vaya, lo era.

No me malinterpreteis, lo más curioso del asunto es que la novela me ha gustado y me ha resultado entretenida siempre y cuando la miremos en su contexto adecuado. Para empezar, solo es recomendable si te has leído la "original" y sientes curiosidad por ver un escenario en el que Elizabeth Bennet además de atacar verbalmente al señor Darcy lo hace también a ritmo de Katana, en una descripción de escenas que haría las delicias de cualquier fan de Tarantino. Porque el libro da exactamente esa sensación, de estar narrado por el afamado director con momentos que parecen sacados directamente de Kill Bill.

¿Un punto en contra? Que para mi gusto lo mejor de la novela sigue siendo la parte que no tiene muertos vivientes (que parecen más "infectados" que "zombies") y que posiblemente a cualquier fan de la novela original de Austen que trate de tomarse minimamente en serio esta adaptación le parecerá como mínimo una profanación de lo que es una de las más importantes obras de literatura ambientada en la Inglaterra del XIX. Además, aún con todo no puedo dejar de pensar que la inclusión de los innombrables sigue siendo cuando menos algo forzada en algunas ocasiones.

¿Por lo demás? Pues se hace fácil y entretenida de leer, quizás con una mayor exageración de la estupidez de la Señora Bennet y del pasotismo del padre de Lizzy, pero que el resto se mantiene todo lo fiel que puede a la historia original, siempre desde el punto de vista cómico.
Destacar la ayuda para el comentario de texto que aparece al final, una vez acabada la historia, que como si de un ejercicio de clase se tratara comenta y satiriza los propios "fallos" de la novela, enfatizando su intención humorística.

Si habéis leído la novela original, y os pica la curiosidad y además podéis haceros con ella en una biblioteca, no lo dudeis. Si teneis que decidir entre esta u otra novela... todo depende, pero yo me lo pensaría dos veces a no ser que os pique MUCHO la curiosidad.

Valoración 6.5/10

Tirano dijo...

a mí me llama mucho la atención este libro, pero el problema es que no leí el original. No eres el primero que opina que lo mejor dell ibro es la parte que tiene del "original", y no la de zombies. Entonces, me recomiendas leerlo a pesar de no haber leído el original? Puede que así me guste mas...

Sauron Bloom dijo...

Pues este engendro ya tiene adaptacion cinematografica en marcha...

Ulin dijo...

Kirtash sinceramente, si no te has leido la novela original va a perder gran parte de su gracia y se queda en un libro más bien malucho... pero oye, leete orgullo y prejuicio que no deja de ser una magnífica novela de época

Sauron, lo peor es que no me sorprende, y con cosas por ahí sueltas como Spanish movie, puede que no sea ni tan mala...

Bambú dijo...

No he leído el original, pero cuando vi la portada en la librería me llamó la atención. ¿como se le ocurrieron hacer una versión así? sin duda es algo llamativo.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin to get real money.
It gets down to choose a proper partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Howdy

I am new to this place. I found loads of useful information here. I would also like to add up some thing for this community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you need to know how to lose 10 lb in a calendar week, you are believably not seeing for a regular dieting and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a regular diet and exercise plan, However this takes a lot of time doing intensive cardio practises and sticking to a strict diet. Here I will outline the right steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a week.

1. Keep Distance from all deep-fried foods for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of Citrus paradisi with breakfast every day. (this accelerates up your metabolism)
3. Eat average portions (stop eating when you are full)
4. If you are consuming 3 big a meals a day, eat up 5-6 smaller meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod your habbit of eating after 9 P.M.. Its good to eat before 9 P.M. so that our body gets proper time to burn calories before sleep.
6. Take proper sleep every night. Not taking enough sleep has been proven to be a leading factor to the body putting up excess fat.
7. Utilise a body/colon clean for the 7 days. This will get rid of unnecessary weight stored close to the tummy area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that makes you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I suggest you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those individuals who wish to burn fat quickly, avoid intoxicant.
10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an superior method of burning fat quickly.

Thanks![url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com].[/url]!

Hello everyone! I am ZetUtellstuck from Pakistan. I am currently doing my BS in Software Engineering. My passion is to become a Game Designer.[url="http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/member.php?u=1105545"]:)[/url]
How I came to know about this website? Well. I downloaded Windows 7 and read the related posts. They mentioned this website if ever I needed help with the Loader. When I came here, I found a lot of information about many things and you people seem to care what someone has to say. Even though I have not registered at such websites for a long time now. Because, not many people has shown that much interest in helping me. Even though, I won't be coming here everyday and posting, but I will still be the one to check out what's going on. I will only post when I need help. And yes, if I see something that I can help with, of course, I will help. But I don't seem to know too much, so I will better stay outta the Experts' way.
Anyway. It's nice meeting you all guys. It's full of information. Thank you.
Regards! ZetUtellstuck
