Extractions: July - September 2004, No. 20 At The Tail, A Tale To Tell By Hector Hugh Munro, a.k.a. Saki ( 1870 - 1916 ) Hector H. Munro was the son of a British officer stationed in Burma. Sent in England to be educated by his aunts after his mothers death, he attended school until 1885, when his father retired from the army and took over his education. They traveled together all over Europe, and later on Hugh became journalist, and even foreign correspondent. He wrote mainly short stories. Member of the 22 nd Royal Fusiliers since 1914, he was killed in battle in 1916. In a forest of mixed growth somewhere on the eastern spurs of the Carpathians, a man stood one winter night watching and listening, as though he waited for some beast of the woods to come within the range of his vision, and, later, of his rifle. But the game for whose presence he kept so keen an outlook was none that figured in the sportsman's calendar as lawful and proper for the chase; Ulrich von Gradwitz patrolled the dark forest in quest of a human enemy. The feud might, perhaps, have died down or been compromised if the personal ill will of the two men had not stood in the way; as boys they had thirsted for one another's blood; as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other; and this windscourged winter night Ulrich had banded together his foresters to watch the dark forest, not in quest of four-footed quarry, but to keep a lookout for the prowling thieves whom he suspected of being afoot from across the land boundary. The roebuck, which usually kept in the sheltered hollows during a stormwind, were running like driven things tonight; and there was movement and unrest among the creatures that were wont to sleep through the dark hours. Assuredly there was a disturbing element in the forest, and Ulrich could guess the quarter from whence it came.

Extractions: APUNTES BIOGRÁFICOS Catástrofe de un joven turco (A Young Turkish Catastrophe) (1910) El ministro de Bellas Artes (a cuyo ministerio se había anexado últimamente la nueva subsección de Ingeniería Electoral) le hizo una visita de trabajo al gran visir. De acuerdo con la etiqueta oriental, discurrieron un rato sobre temas indiferentes. El ministro se detuvo a tiempo para omitir una referencia casual a la Maratón que se había corrido, cuando recordó que el gran visir tenía una abuela persa y podía considerar la alusión a Maratón como una falta de tacto. A continuación el ministro entró en el tema de su entrevista. - ¿Bajo la nueva constitución, las mujeres tendrán el voto? preguntó repentinamente. - ¿Tener el voto? ¿Las mujeres? exclamó el visir con cierta estupefacción -. Mi querido pashá, la nueva carta tiene cierto sabor de absurdo así como está; no tratemos de convertirlo en algo completamente ridículo. Las mujeres no tienen alma, ni inteligencia, ¿por qué demonios van a tener el voto? - Sé que suena absurdo dijo el ministro -, pero en Occidente están considerando esa idea seriamente.

Extractions: APUNTES BIOGRÁFICOS Humorista inglés, Saki escribió cuentos cortos cargados de un humor negro que rayaba muchas veces en la crueldad. Sus historias eluden cualquier exotismo y se niegan a la menor afectación: son muestras magistrales de un arte sin ornamentos. Sus finales, siempre sorprendentes, son conclusiones lógicas en un mundo que se maneja delicadamente, pero con la sordidez de la ironía más implacable. Héctor Hugh Munro, más conocido por el seudónimo de Saki, nació en Akyab, Birmania, antigua colonia británica que hoy recibe el nombre de Myanmar (lugar donde su padre desempeñaba un cargo), el 18 de diciembre de 1870. Hijo de un oficial de policía, el pequeño fue enviado a Devon (Gran Bretaña) tras la muerte de su madre y cuando tenía apenas dos años. A esa corta edad, viaja con sus hermanos a Inglaterra y queda en casa de la abuela, en Barnstaple (condado de North Devon, Inglaterra), al cuidado de dos tías solteronas, mujeres ignorantes y crueles, que se odian entre sí y que le infundirán un horror persistente por el mundo de los adultos. Probablemente las mujeres tenían las mejores intenciones cuando lo criaron en un régimen de rigor y severidad, lo que dejó huellas profundas en el carácter del escritor.
