Immerse yourself in the dark and fascinating legend of Erzsebét Bathory, one of the most sinister criminals in history. In 'The Bloody Countess', Alejandra Pizarnik constructs a disturbing portrait of the sadism and madness surrounding this figure, accused of murdering six hundred and fifty young women. At the end of the 17th century, in her castle in the Carpathians, the countess swoops down on her victims to bleed them and preserve her youth. Santiago Caruso's illustrations masterfully recreate the cursed legend that lives on through time.
Flora Alejandra Pizarnik was an Argentine poet. Her idiosyncratic and thematically introspective poetry has been considered "one of the most unusual bodies of work in Latin American literature", and has been recognized and celebrated for its fixation on "the limitation of language, silence, the body, night, the nature of intimacy, madness, [and] death".
