Victoria Franc\u00e9s es una ilustradora que adorna sus dibujos con palabras, o una escritora que consigue dar forma a sus pensamientos en im\u00e1genes, consiguiendo un libro \u00fanico en cualquier g\u00e9nero. La trilog\u00eda de F\u00e1vole se compone de tres vol\u00famenes &#8220;L\u00e1grimas de piedra&#8221;, &#8220;Lib\u00e9rame&#8221;, y por \u00faltimo &#8220;G\u00e9lida Luz&#8221;, aunque de momento, y como dicen que debe hacerse, comenzaremos por el principio: &#8220;L\u00e1grimas de piedra&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Es esta una obra que no robar\u00e1 demasiado tiempo al lector, a no ser que, como yo, se pierda so\u00f1ando entre sus hojas. Esta novela ilustrada est\u00e1 dividida en tres partes, a lo largo de las cuales nuestro anfitri\u00f3n, Ezequiel, atractivo no muerto y alma \u00e1vida en dar caza a j\u00f3venes doncellas, volver\u00e1 la vista hacia el pasado, recordando a todas aquellas que dej\u00f3 malditas en su camino.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lavernne, primera v\u00edctima y doncella, ofreci\u00f3 su cuello y qued\u00f3 abandonada como dama del lago, s\u00edlfide creando una cohorte de j\u00f3venes hu\u00e9rfanas que buscan refugio entre sus aguas, donde atraen a incautos que saciar\u00e1n su sed, tal vez de amor, tal vez de sangre, mientras ella espera revivir un amor incestuoso, o recuperar a aquel que la arroj\u00f3 al lodo por el resto de los siglos&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Marquise, princesa rumana enamorada del angel de un cementerio, es la segunda doncella cuya historia conocemos a trav\u00e9s del ser oscuro. La joven dama ans\u00eda dar vida al querub\u00edn, y para ello utiliza a diario su m\u00fasica, pero es a trav\u00e9s del beso mortal del vampiro que su sue\u00f1o se hace real. As\u00ed vagar\u00e1 cual alma errante, tocando para su amante p\u00e9treo, y siendo un hada inmortal que cobija bajo su manto a j\u00f3venes muertas por las artes malvadas de una madrastra&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Mas es F\u00e1vole, la tercera doncella, quien marca su existencia maldita, y se apodera de un coraz\u00f3n que ya no pod\u00eda latir. Joven veneciana criada entre t\u00edteres, es arrojada de los brazos de su funesto amante, al ser este incapaz de condenarla una vida eterna. La que ser\u00e1 conocida como &#8220;Reina de los Proscritos&#8221;, terminar\u00e1 ahogando su locura en las \u00e1guas de G\u00e9nova, y ser\u00e1 a partir de ahora cuando comience su err\u00e1tico caminar en pos de aquel que rob\u00f3 su alma pero no su vida&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Y hasta aqu\u00ed los seres atormentados que nos introducen en el mundo de esta joven ilustradora, seduciendo con susurros y malas artes, para arrastrarnos a la siguiente de sus obras. Pues a trav\u00e9s de ellos, el lector cae en un sopor, bajo un embrujo, que le obliga a necesitar conocer qu\u00e9 ocurre entre estos seres de las tinieblas. Nos veremos en su siguiente obra&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"16\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"307\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tears of Stone, by Victoria Frances<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A work imbued with sinister beauty, that joins words full of legends and spectres together with the images they conjure in the reader&#8217;s mind. Victoria Franc\u00e9s is an illustrator that decorates her drawings with words, or a writer that manages to shapes her thoughts into images, resulting in a book that is unique in any genre. The F\u00e1vole trilogy consists of three volumes: &#8220;L\u00e1grimas de Piedra&#8221; (Tears of Stone), &#8220;Lib\u00e9rame&#8221; (Set me Free), and finally &#8220;G\u00e9lida Luz&#8221; (Glacial Light), although for now we will be starting from the beginning, as we should, talking about the first one: &#8220;Tears of Stone&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This work won&#8217;t require too much of a time investment from readers unless they, like me, get lost in dreams inside its pages. This graphic novel is divided into three parts, throughout which our host, Ezequiel, a handsome undead and a hungry soul chasing young maidens, will turn his gaze towards the past, and remember all of those he condemned in his path.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Lavernne, his first victim and maiden, offered him her neck and was abandoned as a lady of the lake, a sylph that created a whole cohort of orphan young girls seeking refuge in its waters, where they will charm careless men to quench their thirst, maybe for love, maybe for blood, while she yearns for the revival of an incestuous love, or the return of the one who threw her into the mud forevermore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Marquise, a Romanian princess in love with an angel in a graveyard, is the second maiden whose story we learn through the dark being. The young lady longs for the ability to bring the cherub to life, and for that purpose she uses her music daily, but it&#8217;s only through a deadly kiss from the vampire that her dream turns into reality. Thus she will roam, like a wandering soul, playing for her stone lover, and becoming an immortal fairy that shelters under her robes all the young girls killed by their stepmother&#8217;s black magic&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But it&#8217;s Favole, the third maiden, the one who leaves a mark in his damned existence, and captures a heart that couldn&#8217;t beat anymore. A young Venetian raised among puppets, is thrown into the arms of her ill-fated lover, who is incapable to condemn her to eternal life. The one who will be hereafter known as &#8220;The Queen of the Outlaws&#8221;, will end up drowning her madness in the waters of Genoa, and that will be the starting point for her erratic journey in pursuit of the one who could steal her soul but not her life&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And so far these are the tormented creatures that will introduce us to the universe of this young illustrator, seducing us with whispers and black arts in order to drag us into her next work. For through them readers will fall into a torpor, an enchantment that will compel them to find out what happens to these darkness dwellers. We&#8217;ll meet again in her next piece&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"229\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2010\/04\/favole-229x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2010\/04\/favole-229x350.jpg 229w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2010\/04\/favole.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><p>Lagrimas de Piedra, de Victoria Franc\u00e9s Obra de siniestra belleza, que une a sus palabras plagadas de leyendas y espectros las im\u00e1genes que tales pesadillas recrean en la mente del lector.
