Las leyendas y relatos que existen sobre los hombres-lobo se remontan hasta la Antig\u00fcedad cl\u00e1sica y cuentan en Europa con una larga tradici\u00f3n, que recoge historias tanto de hombres que siendo mordidos por lobos se transforman en \u00e9stos, como de ni\u00f1os que criados por lobos apartados de cualquier relaci\u00f3n humana se comportan como tales, o casos de hombres cuyo profundo contacto con la naturaleza los ha llevado a una manifestaci\u00f3n de su ser m\u00e1s primitivo o animal. Ser\u00e1 el gusto rom\u00e1ntico por este tipo leyendas el que lleve a muchos autores a recoger esta tradici\u00f3n y a reelaborarla, acentuando en la mayor\u00eda de los casos los aspectos sobrenaturales y conect\u00e1ndola m\u00e1s directamente con el mundo de lo oculto y lo monstruoso. Esta antolog\u00eda abarca desde los primeros relatos g\u00f3ticos que se conservan \u2014los ya cl\u00e1sicos The White Wolf of the Hartz Mountains de F. Marryat, y Hughes, the Wer-Wolf de S. Menzies, nunca publicado en lengua castellana\u2014 hasta notables y novedosas versiones m\u00e1s recientes, igualmente in\u00e9ditas entre nosotros, como The Camp of the Dog de A. Blackwood, The Kill de P. Fleming, Taboo de G. Household o Le g\u00e2loup de C. Seignolle.\u00abDecir que ha despertado la bestia en un hombre no es siempre una met\u00e1fora\u00bb.\u00ab\u2026 Por fin, esta noche, en este bosque, siento revivir el humus. A trav\u00e9s de sus poros, las ra\u00edces exhalan un exceso de savia nueva. Este olor negro que va ligado al fr\u00edo: el uno me raspa el vientre por dentro, el otro me lo ara por fuera como una reja de m\u00faltiples u\u00f1as.\u00bbPero ni la negrura ni el fr\u00edo me sacian. Para avivar el odio y el dolor necesito ir a pastos mejores; porque la noche, mi terreno de vida, est\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n hambrienta de otros odios y otros dolores\u00bb.\u00abImagina su horror cuando descubri\u00f3 (desprevenido como estaba para una visi\u00f3n as\u00ed), al avanzar hacia la sepultura, no un lobo, sino a su mujer, en camis\u00f3n y a cuatro patas, inclinada sobre el cuerpo de mi hermana, y arrancando grandes jirones de carne y devor\u00e1ndolos con la avidez de un lobo\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
