Ernest Powys Mathers

    Edward Powys Mathers fue un traductor y poeta inglés, célebre por sus interpretaciones libres de poesía amorosa asiática y textos esotéricos. Sus traducciones, aunque no estrictamente académicas, acercaron la belleza y el exotismo de tradiciones literarias lejanas a la audiencia occidental. La prosa de Mathers es lírica y evocadora, buscando capturar el espíritu de los originales en lugar de su significado literal. Su obra sigue resonando por su poder poético y su voz distintiva.

    Cain's Jawbone
    • Six murders. One hundred pages. Millions of possible combinations... but only one is correct. Can you solve Torquemada's murder mystery? In 1934, the Observer's cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible - through logic and intelligent reading - to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers. Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain's Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks? Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.
