early Victorian (II): the mystery of the girl and the Ripper (I)






Centenario, from Bram Stoker, are known to those beings who bristle mirrors are helpless if not kill, we know that is sprayed against to light, but it is curious that ignore empavorecen that precisely because they are terrified creatures. "

No wonder that a London suburbs such as Mick Jagger singing loudly, until today, that every sinner is a saint and every officer a criminal. Because still seems unthinkable that lacks a native of London, much as we do-from a Victorian imagination. That imagery that taught us to feel, with adult force, the bloody delights of fear.

Unlike the atrocities of fairy tales where the inevitable defeat of the ogre cauterized the dream of children, the dream of Victorian England still produces insomnia. And now, compliments of lentenarios Dracula and Lewis Carroll, it is clear that we still haunts the troubled twilight of that other late-century London, with their gas lanterns twinkling in the mist and fumes, gave us the strongest stimulants to die of fear. That city

dim, whose population was less than a million inhabitants, where in some neighborhoods of the drunken mob crowded and heels carefully prostitutes, was the scene of horror par excellence, and claimed the throne from his shadow fascinating, the lord of all fears, the vampire. Puritan imagination that, almost without knowing it was built step by step, and it was because I never understood fortifying repeluzno the real root of the nosferatu.

centennially from Bram Stork is known to those beings who bristle mirrors are helpless if not kill, we know that spraying against the light, but it is curious empavorecen unaware that precisely because they are terrified creatures. His real goal is to inoculate the deadly fear, with the secret hope that one, instead of succumbing to his anxious eyes, to vaccinate them against their own panic.

not a hero of those nights as Sherlock Holmes, with his amazing deductive powers, managed to find the secret, because Holmes Goya embodied the principle that dreams of reason are like dragons delivery and everything around him was dreadful crimes and villains. The monsters were so abundant because, just before Dracula, thanks to the virtues of the more industrious and rampant progress, had been born schizophrenia. And schizophrenia, as we Jagger and rock and roll was here to stay.

In 1886, Stevenson made public The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , and in 1891 set out the Wilde Picture of Dorian Gray . Just between these two cases, in 1888 and bled to certain ladies of the neck, came the great alibi forensic detail that was missing was to emerge, with its grim full of features, the vampire. He was a hero surgical time, the first of serial murderers, who have remained anonymous if somebody had not written to Scotland Yard calling himself Jack the Ripper.

Every day is discussed on the Ripper, the murderer careful faceless, and even Sherlock fought him on more than one version to the screen until some chance, very memorable, it was revealed that Holmes, as his old schizophrenic, was the real Jack the Ripper.

But all the solutions have similar vain so far, all is conjecture, because that darkness unknown fingerprints and had not reached the strand of DNA, and maintained its tenacious the Ripper incognito until recently, a very heady research, Mr. Richard Wallace seemed to finally, with the identity of this murderer and protovampiro.

The culprit, according to Wallace, was a mathematician ruthless, stubborn a chess player, a photographer accused by his own biographers (and other machine Victorian psychoanalysis) of pedophile, an evil magician of paradoxes and anagrams that achieved celebrity thanks to a two books-one of them really creepy. This individual, who was a deacon and was disguised as pious as well be hidden under a false name, Lewis Carroll.

is known that Carroll was inordinately fond of riddles and The Ripper, until today, is a riddle that tens of thousands of professionals and amateurs trying to solve. Wallace's thesis is about to win the rights to make a movie, but from now we can say one thing. Without discussing the success or failure of the thesis (after all Jack was just a clumsy vampire in the making, an exhibitionist in the viscera of their victims, and otherwise all playfulness could build a pseudo-name writing letters to the police and other crimes arrogate more affection to anonymity), perhaps the key to this masterpiece espeluzno or Carroll, Alice Through mirror, consisting of that very dimly and thanks to the courage of a child of seven years, contains a formula for free, once and for all, the vampires of his own fear.
