El libro de Hiperbórea

La Hiperbórea de Clark Ashton Smith es un continente primigenio, cuya concepción debe tanto a los antiguos griegos como a los escritos de Madame Blavatsky. El ciclo se desarrolla entre el Mioceno y el Pleistoceno y tiene como objetivo, en palabras del autor: «la creación de una atmósfera sobrenatural, extrahumana; los actores reales son las terribles fuerzas arcanas, las esotéricas malignidades cósmicas». En los presentes relatos, Smith desgrana todas las facetas posibles de la vida desde una perspectiva fantástica y con una evidente comicidad: hechiceros en busca de conocimientos ocultos que solo el sacrificio a un dios monstruoso puede otorgar, prestamistas cuya codicia los empuja a las fauces de una muerte terrible, poetas enamorados de mujeres etéreas cuyo contacto puede ser letal, verdugos y fuerzas del orden impotentes ante el avance de un caos incomprensible o arrogantes nobles que reciben curas de humildad tan terribles como fútiles.
