Overview

Una emocionante historia de intriga, pasión y crimen protagonizada por la condesa Maria Tarnowska, la mujer que conmocionó al mundo en la Venecia de la belle époqu

Septiembre, 1907. Movido por los celos, el joven traductor ruso Nikolái Naumov dispara contra el conde Kamarowski en su palacio de Venecia al saber que contraerá matrimonio con la mujer que ama en secreto. Cuando el conde muere, la investigación policial apunta a su prometida, la condesa Tarnowska, como instigadora del crimen pasional junto con otro de sus amantes, el abogado Donato Prilukov. Tres años después comienza el juicio más escandaloso de la época, un proceso que sacudió los cimientos de la sociedad, revolucionóla prensa y cambió el sistema legal judicial admitiendo el psicoanálisis freudiano. Señalada como la primera femme fatale del siglo XX surgen dudas: ¿es la condesa culpable o inocente? ¿Víctima o verdugo? No hay crimen sin historia. La condesa maldita narra losdías de una mujer arrolladora que coleccionó amantes, desafió los tabúes más férreos del momento y nunca renunció a su libertad.

Después de éxitos como Un burka por amor, Postales del este o La violinista roja, Reyes Monforte nos descubre en su nueva novela a uno de los personajes más desconocidos y fascinantes de la historia criminal de todos los tiempos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A thrilling story of passion, intrigue and crime starring Countess Maria Tarnowska, the woman who scandalized Venetian society during the belle époque.

September 1907. Driven by jealousy, Nikolai Naumov, a young Russian translator, shoots Count Kamarowski at his palatial Venetian home after learning of his engagement to the woman he secretly loves. When the Count dies, the police investigation points to the object of both men’s obsession, Countess Tarnowska, as the instigator of this crime of passion, with the aid of yet another lover, attorney Donato Prilukov. It takes three years for the trial to begin in the most scandalous case of the era, shaking the foundations of aristocratic society, galvanizing the press, and changing the legal system to admit Freudian psychoanalysis. But questions remain about the twentieth-century’s first femme fatale: Was the Countess guilty or innocent?  A victim or the executioner?  Every crime has its story.  The Cursed Countess is the tale of a formidable woman who attracted lovers by the dozen, challenged the most entrenched taboos of her times, and refused to relinquish her freedom.  

Following the success of Un burka por amor [A Burka for Love], Postales del este [Postcards from the East] and La violinista roja [The Red Violinist], Reyes Monforte introduces us to a little-known and fascinating figure in the annals of crime.
