Narrative As Books Erzsébet Báthory - A Condessa Sanguinária

Esta é a história de uma condessa que se banhava em sangue de jovens raparigas. Uma história verdadeira, ainda inédita no nosso país. Os documentos que a provam foram muito difíceis de obter, pois tudo aconteceu há mais de trezentos anos numa Hungria em estado ainda primitivo. Os elementos mais relevantes do processo foram passados ao longo do tempo por vários arquivos. Mas, em 1956, que terá acontecido aos Arquivos da Hungria que se encontravam no castelo de Budapeste? Nos tempos actuais não é possível ver o retrato, escurecido pela passagem dos séculos, que eternizou o olhar severo da muito bela Erzsébet Báthory. O castelo de Csejthe está em ruínas desde há duzentos anos, lá no alto dos esporões espetados dos Pequenos Cárpatos, perto da Eslóvaquia. Quanto a vampiros e fantasmas, esses, nunca deixaram de habitá-lo, bem como certo pote de barro, a um canto numa das caves, usado para verter o sangue sobre os ombros da Condessa. O fantasma do Monstro de Csejthe, a Condessa Sanguinária, uiva ainda lancinantemente durante a noite nessas salas cujas janelas e portas foram muradas e assim ficaram para todo o sempre.

Assess About Books Erzsébet Báthory - A Condessa Sanguinária

The subject of the book was intriguing- albeit very creepy. The writing and organization of the book however seemed to jump around and was not easy to follow. The stories were somewhat repeated and the timeline not clear.Also i dont get the exact image on the book cover!! Bloody-what?

Something was wrong here. Not sure if the translation or the writing itself. But I loved reading about Erzsebet's life. Fascinating character, darker than darkness itself.

Still a lot of discrepancies amidst the historical atrocities of The Blood Countess . . . this book however does stand as being the one (if not the only) official biography of Erzsebet Bathory. Very insightful, albeit a little hard to follow as its language is rather cryptic, more so because the names and locations of events are extremely foreign. At times, the book loses your attention through its rather monotonous approach at explaining individuals and their histories, but there's enough blood

After discovering and falling in love with Solar Books the other week, I realized that I already had one of their books--The Bloody Countess. This book follows in the vein of La Bas and Benedetti's Bluebeard--lyrical and poetic, we are able to see not only the actions but also the psychological and historical affecting and surrounding Erzsebet Bathory. Well-written and flows well, although at times a little clunky. Perhaps the fault of translation. Penrose does an amazing job at giving a sense

I found this book to be a disappointment. I was hoping to gather actual facts on Erzabeth Bathory without as much of the exaggeration and superstitious lore that have surrounded her story. The flowery language and references to her behavior being related to the moon and the fact that she was a woman were off putting. The biggest disappointment however was the references to the court transcripts. Throughout the book there are references to the trial transcprits which I was anxious to read.

The title of this biography, written by the poet Valentine Penrose, is misleading. The Hungarian Countess Erszébet Báthory (1560- 1614) was more than 'bloody': she was blood-thirsty. Alas, she also had the power to quench her thirst.It took a surrealist female poet to write about a surreal and poetic woman. Because there was a great deal of sick, desperate poetry in Erszébet Báthory's whole existence, in which the woman finally became part of her own fantasies. She got trapped in herself and

Valentine Penrose--if you aren't familiar with this very cool queer surrealist you /must/ become so--does a fabulous job capturing the macabre legend of Erszebet Bathory, the original inspiration for Dracula and the vampire lore we see today! I would like to emphasize the fact that what we "know" about this 16th century Hungarian countess (the bathing in blood and mass murder) is a thing of myth and folklore with no substantiated evidence. Do some digging yourself! was it more likely that
