Two troubling stories collide in this adventurous tale. The protagonist of the first, Markheim, goes into an antique store to buy a Christmas gift. What happens here in the forthcoming hours force him to face his fears as well as his hopes and will change his destiny in an extraordinary way. In the second story, an English officer fighting in Spain during the war retires to the countryside to recover. In a mansion situated between the mountains and beautiful landscapes, he tries to find the keys to a love--and terror--story. Here, it is not easy to distinguish between that which is worldly or spiritual; both inseparably merge in the name of a woman: Olalla. Dos historias inquietantes. En la primera de ellas, Markheim, protagonista del relato, acude a una tienda de antig?edades para comprar un regalo navide?o: lo que all? le suceda en las horas siguientes, enfrentado a sus miedos tanto como a sus esperanzas, cambiar? su destino de un modo extraordinario. En la segunda, un oficial ingl?s que lucha en Espa?a durante la Guerra de la Independencia se retira al campo para recuperarse: en una mansi?n situada entre monta?as y paisajes fascinantes tratar? de encontrar las claves de una historia de amor y de terror donde lo carnal y lo espiritual apenas se distinguen; ambos se funden inseparablemente en el nombre de una mujer: Olalla.
