Summary

El premio nobel de ciencia Santiago Ramón y Cajal nos dejó algunos cuentos en los que confluyen sus pasiones por la ciencia y la literatura. En "La casa maldita" nos cuenta la historia de un médico que regresa a España después de haber hecho fortuna en América pero que, por una desgracia, debe empezar de cero para poder casarse con el amor de su vida. Para ello, pone sus ojos en una prometedora propiedad de la vecindad que, sin embargo, sus paisanos consideran objeto de una terrible maldición. Es entonces cuando la ciencia pone todo su arsenal al servicio del progreso y en contra de la superstición. Con indudable talento literario, el autor propone un debate entre la razón y las viejas creencias con el que denuncia las resistencias al progreso y al conocimiento que enfrentó en su vida. Con gran imaginación, el relato es divertido y sugerente. Un relato sorprendente que nos acerca a una figura interesantísima, pues Santiago Ramón y Cajal es, como prueba esta obra, un hombre por descubrir.

Nobel Prize winner Santiago Ramón y Cajal left us some stories in which his passions for science and literature converge. In "La casa maldita" he tells us the story of a doctor who returns to Spain after having made his fortune in America but who, due to a misfortune, must start from scratch in order to marry the love of his life. To do so, he sets his eyes on a promising property in the neighborhood that, however, his countrymen consider to be cursed. Then, science puts all its arsenal at the service of progress and against superstition. With undoubted literary talent and originality, the author plays with a debate between reason and old beliefs, denouncing the resistance to progress and knowledge that he faced in his life. A surprising story that brings us closer to a very interesting figure, since Santiago Ramón y Cajal is, as this work proves, a man to be discovered.
