Tales of Horror and the Supernatural
O tej książce
Includes: The Terror. The Great God Pan. The White People. Fourteen Stories! Over 500 pages. From the beginning of his literary career, Machen espoused a mystical belief that the humdrum ordinary world hid a more mysterious and strange world beyond. His gothic and decadent works of the 1890s concluded that the lifting of this veil could lead to madness, sex, or death, and usually a combination of all three. Machen's later works became somewhat less obviously full of gothic trappings, but for him investigations into mysteries invariably resulted in life-changing transformation and sacrifice. Machen loved the medieval world view because he felt it combined deep spirituality alongside a rambunctious earthiness. Machen's strong opposition to a materialistic viewpoint is obvious in many of his works, marking him as part of neo-romanticism. He was deeply suspicious of science, materialism, commerce, and Puritanism, all of which were anathema to Machen's conservative, bohemian, mystical, and ritualistic temperament.Contents:N (1936)Out of the Earth (1915)The Bowmen (1914)The Bright Boy (1936)The Children of the Pool (1936)The Great God Pan (1894)The Great Return (1915)The Happy Children (1920)The Inmost Light (1894)The Novel of the Black Seal (1895)The Novel of the White Powder (1895)The Shining Pyramid (1895)The Terror (1916)The White People (1904)
