Saki (Hector Hugh Munro) S eudónimo literario de Hector Hugh Munro, escritor de origen escocés, nacido en Birmania (actual Myanmar). Huérfano de niño se crió en Devon (Inglaterra), aunque la tradición familiar militar lo llevó en 1893 a alistarse en la Policía Militar de Birmania, pero un ataque de malaria le obligó a volver a Inglaterra, donde comenzó a escribir como articulista. Fue corresponsal en los Balcanes, Rusia, Polonia y Francia. Macabro, ácido y divertido, Saki cultivó la sátira social, revelándose como un maestro del estilo. A Tom Sharpe y Roald Dahl se les considera sus discípulos y Graham Greene lo denominó como el mayor humorista inglés del siglo XX. Jorge Luis Borges, gran lector de Saki, decía que: -Saki da un tono de trivialidad a relatos cuya íntima trama es amarga y cruel. Esa delicadeza, esa levedad, esa ausencia de énfasis puede recordar las deliciosas comedias de Wilde-. Entre sus obras destacan las colecciones de cuentos, ejemplo de brevedad y eficacia, Animales y más que animales y Crónicas de Clovis . Estas últimas fueron publicándose como artículos en el Wetminster Gazette. La primera edición en libro vio la luz en 1911. Al estallar la Primera Guerra Mundial, se alistó en el ejército, luchando como sargento en la Compañía de Fusileros Reales. Lo mató un francotirador en noviembre de 1916. ©

9. The Open Window, Saki, Hector Hugh Munro, La Ventana Abierta, Short Stories, Cue by Hector Hugh Munro Saki . Saki was the penname of Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916),a British political journalist who worked in Russia and France. http://www.ompersonal.com.ar/shortstories/openwindow.htm

THE OPEN WINDOW by Hector Hugh Munro "Saki" Saki was the pen-name of Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916) a British political journalist who worked in Russia and France. He published several volumes of short stories which show an understanding of children and of young people who play cleverly and sometimes maliciously on the feelings of their elders. For Graham Greene, Munro was the best English humourist of the twentieth century. Munro's mother died when he was born, so he was sent to England to be brought up by two maiden old aunts who turned his life into a real misery. Greene states that this unhappy childhood is the key to the cruelty in almost all his short stories. This is the case of THE OPEN WINDOW... The Open Window La Ventana Abierta 'My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel,' said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; 'in the meantime you must try and put up with me.' Framton Nuttel tried to say a few words which should flatter both the niece of the moment and the aunt that was to come. Privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a number of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was to undergo.

Hector Hugh Munro, more commonly known as Saki,was born in Akyab,Burma, where his father was a police officer. At that time Burma like India was under British rule and Munro was therefore a British citizen. Munro's father though probably felt England was a better place to bring up his three children than Burma and so he left his children in the care of his mother and two sisters in Devon, England. The children were quite sickly and so were taught at home through much of their childhoods. After completing his schooling Munro returned to Burma where his father had arranged for a job for him in the military police. He fell ill with malaria a little after a year in Burma and had to return home to England.

STORY PAGE About the author of our story. SAKI The Open Window "My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel," said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; "in the meantime you must try and put up with me." Framton Nuttel endeavoured to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come. Privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing. "I know how it will be," his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat; "you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Some of them, as far as I can remember, were quite nice." Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction, came into the nice division. "Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece, when she judged that they had had sufficient silent communion.
