"Un relato in?ito de Sylvia Plath. Edicin? ilustrada de una historia alegr?ica y oscura sobre la liberacin? femenina. Mary se despide de sus padres en la estacin?. Tiene que coger un tren con destino a un misterioso noveno reino, aunque ella no se siente preparada para viajar y dejar su familia atrs?. Finalmente, ante las insistencias de sus padres, sube, y entabla conversacin? 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 detrs? de cada ln?ea de dil?ogo y detrs? de los enigmt?icos razonamientos de esa mujer que acompa? a Mary en su viaje de descubrimiento, terror y liberacin?. Sylvia Plath escribi ?este escalofriante relato cuando tena? veinte a?s; una maravillosa muestra del talento de la autora, que ms? tarde aplicara? a sus poemas y a su novela, La campana de cristal."--From Amazon.com No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

No idea at all.
Mary boards a train for...somewhere, for some reason. During the Journey she talks with an older woman who increasingly confuses and upsets Mary about the journey they're on with cryptic remarks and observations.
I think this was some sort of symbolism for growing up? Or becoming an adult? Or something? At one point the lady and the conductor have a pleasant if somewhat sinister sounding conversation about the fact the lady is taking the journey again.
Mary questions the lady about this, receiving sharp rebukes about her own culpability in choosing to be on the train. When Mary insists she did not choose it, that her parents bought the ticket and pushed her into the decision, the lady remarks on the fact Mary didn't fight them on it.
Guys this slim story (maybe 10 pages if in a normal sized book) frustrated me to no end.
