About the Book

El libro que es la piedra angular de uno de los géneros literarios más fascinantes. "La Trilogía Steampunk de Paul Di Filippo es el equivalente literario de los collages de Max Ernst: Siniestra, inquietante e hilarante." William Gibson Entre los muchos sub géneros de la fantasía y la ciencia ficción el Steampunk es uno de los más fascinantes, con sus escenarios de la época Victoriana, y su tecnología única sin electrónica y electricidad, basada en complicados engranajes y motores a vapor. Entre los pioneros del género, con autores como Tim Powers, William Gibson, Bruce Sterling y Alan Moore con su Liga de los Hombres Extraordinarios, tiene un lugar especial Paul Di Filippo, el primero en usar el término Steampunk en el título de un libro, y uno de los autores más prolíficos y originales del género. La Trilogía Steampunk recoge tres novelas situadas en el siglo XIX; un torbellino de aventuras narradas con el ingenio y la habitual ironía que caracteriza a Paul Di Filippo. En este segundo volumen: HOTENTOTES, Di Filippo nos lleva a mediados del siglo XIX de la mano del naturalista Agassiz, científico ambicioso, racista y xenófobo... que ve su carrera tambalearse cuando un sudafricano afrikáans y su compañera hotentote irrumpen en su vida para obligarlo mediante chantaje a recuperar un poderosos fetiche: la vulva de Saartjie Baartman conservada en formol. En sus páginas se tratan de manera burlona e irónica temas serios como la eugenesia, la discriminación racial, las luchas de poder, las convulsiones políticas y religiosas en un entorno donde aparecen personajes como Lovecraft o Herman Melville.
