Brian Duffy, un soldado irland\u00e9s entrado en a\u00f1os, es contratado en Venecia por un viejo algo extra\u00f1o llamado Aureliano, que le pide que vaya a Viena para hacer de guardi\u00e1n en una taberna. Y ya desde el inicio de su viaje, durante el cual recibe la protecci\u00f3n de criaturas m\u00edticas, Duffy se ve sumido en toda una cadena de sucesos extraordinarios que lo sit\u00faan en el v\u00f3rtice de una confrontaci\u00f3n sobrenatural de alcance insospechado. Aunque \u00e9l no acaba de cre\u00e9rselo, todo indica que es el defensor de Occidente y la encarnaci\u00f3n viviente del mism\u00edsimo rey Arturo. Su presencia en Viena en ese momento critico no es en cualquier caso fruto de la casualidad\u2026 Publicada originalmente en 1979, cuando Tim Powers s\u00f3lo ten\u00eda veinticinco a\u00f1os, Esencia oscura marca el punto de despegue de su carrera como escritor. Muchos de los temas recurrentes de su obra posterior aparecen ya claramente definidos en esta novela, incluyendo su peculiar tratamiento de la magia, ligada a la sangre y el contacto con la tierra, la reelaboraci\u00f3n del mito del Rey Pescador, o el uso de escenarios hist\u00f3ricos para la fantas\u00eda. Todo ello arropado por sus evidentes facultades narrativas, una suave iron\u00eda y el equilibrio que mantiene siempre entre el tono de la narraci\u00f3n culta y la aventura m\u00e1s desquiciada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
