Synopsis "Better Dead (in English)"

Better Dead is a book written by J. M. Barrie and it relates the tale of a writer who finds himself on trial for membership in a secret society that kills those it believes would be, as the title implies, "Better Dead." I wanted "Better Dead" to be taken off the shelves in the UK, and I would have liked not to see it there because it is in no way deserving of the exquisite clothing Messrs. He recently made the attempt in cold blood and returned shaking, but the author had read enough to have the most profound cause for declining to reveal what the book is about. This infantile effort is a field of prickles into which none may be advised to approach. Nevertheless, he has a sentimental attachment to "Better Dead" because it was my first and was released when he had little prospect of persuading any conventions to accept Scotch. There was also a week when he cherished having it in my pocket and did not consider it to be a burden. He once came close to witnessing it sell. She was a gorgeous girl, and the book was on a shelf. She smiled as she read a few pages, took a break, then returned to start the next chapter.

J.M. Barrie (Kirriemuir, Escocia, 1860 - Londres, 1937) fue un escritor y dramaturgo escocés conocido especialmente por ser el creador de Peter Pan. Nacido en el seno de una familia de artesanos de escasos recursos, tuvo una infancia feliz hasta que la muerte de un hermano, cuando él contaba apenas seis años de edad, alteró profundamente la vida familiar y trastornó la salud mental de su madre, que se convirtió en una persona desequilibrada, autoritaria e inflexible, cuya influencia y recuerdo pesó para siempre sobre James. El principal anhelo de Barrie durante el resto de su vida fue recuperar la felicidad de sus primeros años y mantuvo siempre un matiz infantil en su personalidad. En Londres alcanzó la fama con sus novelas y obras de teatro. Además, fue allí donde conoció a los hijos de la familia Llewelyn Davies, fuente de inspiración para escribir Peter Pan, la obra de teatro sobre un chico que no quería crecer y sobre Wendy, su compañera de aventuras en Nunca Jamás. Años más tarde la convirtió en novela: Peter y Wendy fue un auténtico fenómeno en la era eduardiana, la Belle Époque británica que aunó los años de inocencia, hedonismo y despreocupación previos a la primera guerra mundial.
