Georges Rodenbach (1855-1898) was a symbolist poet and novelist, who in his story "Bruges-la-morte" makes a parallel between this Flemish city and one of his inhabitants, who after his wife has died, has escaped from the world, but tries to comer back after meeting a dancer who reminds him of his wife. It is an impressive song to grief and loneliness and Korngold was inspired by the novel for an opera. Georges Rodenbach (1855-1898) fue un poeta y escritor simbolista que en su obra "La ciudad muerta", originalmente "Brujas la muerta", hace un paralelo entre esa ciudad y uno de su habitantes, que al morir su esposa se ha alejado del mundo, pero trata de renacer cuando se encuentra a una bailarina, que le recuerda a su mujer. Es un canto impresionante al dolor y a la soledad y fue la base de una ópera de ese título de Korngold. Note; This audiobook is in Spanish.
