Una Serie de Castastróficas Desdichas
05. Una Academia Muy Austera (The Austere Academy)
Synopsis:
Dear Reader,
If you are looking for a story about cheerful youngsters spending a jolly time at boarding school, look elsewhere. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent and resourceful children, and you might expect that they would do very well at school. Don't. For the Baudelaires, school turns out to be another miserable episode in their unlucky lives.
Truth be told, within the chapters that make up this dreadful story, the children will face snapping crabs, strict punishments, dripping fungus, comprehensive exams, violin recitals, S.O.R.E., and the metric system.
It is my solemn duty to stay up all night researching and writing the history of these three hapless youngsters, but you may be more comfortable getting a good night's sleep. In that case, you should probably choose some other book.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Sinopsis:
Para intentar evitar que los tres hermanos Baudelaire y su fortuna
caigan en manos del terrible Conde Olaf, al señor Poe -tutor de los
niños-se le ocurre la idea que internarlos en la Academia Preparatoria
Pruffock. Allí, les asegura, estarán a salvo de su tío porque la escuela
cuenta con un ordenador que tiene grabada la imagen de Olaf y, según
Poe, eso será suficiente para que no se acerque. Se despide de ellos y
los deja con el subdirector Nerón, y sólo con verlo se darán cuenta de
que esta academia va a ser una auténtica pesadilla. Este es un tirano
que obliga a los alumnos a asistir cada día a sus insoportables
conciertos de violín, a diferencia de los demás alumnos, dormirán en un
cobertizo con un poco de paja como colchón, les será muy difícil hacer
amigos porque todos están dominados por Carmelita Polainas, una niña
odiosa, sucia y cruel, que mantiene a todos a raya. Y, cómo, no, por
mucho ordenador que haya, el conde Olaf seguirá buscándolos...
