«Enoch Soames» is the fantastic tale by Max Beerbohm, published by Rey Lear in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
A writer dissatisfied with his lot makes a pact with the devil and travels a hundred years into the future to see what posterity says of him. Enoch Soames leaves a Soho restaurant in 1897 and appears in the reading room of the British Museum in 1997. It is a return to the Faust myth that portrays the vanity of literary circles with unsettling humour.
Originally published in 1912, the text appears in a complete translation by the novelist Juan Pedro Aparicio, winner of the Nadal Prize, in the Breviarios collection from Rey Lear (no. 2).
For readers of fantastic and horror tales who appreciate time travel and a critical look at literary circles.
