Una bruja que roba un bollo de pan. Una mujer solitaria que no sabe hacer amigos. Una pensión donde las reglas del mundo no se aplican.Publicada en 1919, Los solitarios es una de las novelas más originales y silenciosamente radicales surgidas de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Cuando Sarah Brown —una voluntaria agotada y abnegada en el Londres en guerra— tropieza con una joven misteriosa que se esconde bajo una mesa en una reunión de comité, su vida ordenada de buenas intenciones y sufrimiento invisible se trastorna. La desconocida, que llegará a conocerse como Angela, es una bruja: una de esas personas raras que, nos dice Benson, «nacen por primera vez» y por eso «no están cegadas por tener un punto de vista». Juntas habitan la Casa de los Solitarios, una pensión donde las convenciones sociales se disuelven, los sándwiches están prohibidos, los magos se alistan como soldados y se libra una batalla en escoba sobre los cielos de Londres contra una bruja alemana.Pero bajo el capricho late algo más feroz: una novela sobre la soledad, el sufragismo, el absurdo de la guerra y el coste de vivir fuera de las expectativas del mundo. Benson —sufragista, viajera y una de las escritoras más admiradas de su generación— construye un relato de ternura y de ingenio demoledor, reconocido hoy como una obra pionera de la fantasía feminista.Admirada por Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield y Rebecca West, Stella Benson merece ser leída en nuestros días. 10
