Un relato inédito de Sylvia Plath. Edición ilustrada de una historia alegórica y oscura sobre la liberación femenina. Mary se despide de sus padres en la estación. Tiene que coger un tren con destino a un misterioso noveno reino, aunque ella no se siente preparada para viajar y dejar su familia atrás. Finalmente, ante las insistencias de sus padres, sube, y entabla conversación con una mujer mayor que parece haber hecho el mismo viaje muchas veces: algo realmente inusual. Lo que empieza como una historia inocente se convierte gradualmente en una pesadilla siniestra, donde el significado del viaje se adivina detrás de cada lÃnea de diálogo y detrás de los enigmáticos razonamientos de esa mujer que acompaña a Mary en su viaje de descubrimiento, terror y liberación. Sylvia Plath escribió este escalofriante relato cuando tenÃa veinte años; una maravillosa muestra del talento de la autora, que más tarde aplicarÃa a sus poemas y a su novela, La campana de cristal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Never before published, this newly discovered story by literary legend Sylvia Plath stands on its own and is remarkable for its symbolic, allegorical approach to a young woman's rebellion against convention and forceful taking control of her own life. Written while Sylvia Plath was a student at Smith College in 1952, Mary Ventura and The Ninth Kingdom tells the story of a young woman's fateful train journey. Lips the color of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like guilt, and guilt, and guilt these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on her journey to the ninth kingdom. But what is the ninth kingdom? she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. It is the kingdom of the frozen will, comes the reply. There is no going back. Sylvia Plath's strange, dark tale of female agency and independence, written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion.
