The Cursed Poet Oliver Frances

Written in the 90's, the story foretells a new world coming in the 21st century, describing technologic advances but, anyhow, it reveals still man's weakness over death. Even though, The Cursed Poet predicts a world nuclear conflict, it is a story that tells about the life of a writer whom misfortune shapes his days until he reaches the zenith of his own success to start his downfall. This famous personage in disgrace vanishes suddenly, so that his death is reported. There, the legend begins and eerily his writings and controversial ideas gain reputation again. Apart from telling a story, The Cursed Poet exposes poignant but realistic concepts and exalts the importance of Art.
