THE GREAT GOD PAN AND OTHER HORROR STORIES

Machen, Arthur

Εκδότης Oxford University Press , ISBN 9780198805106

Something pushed out from the body there on the floor, and stretched forth a slimy, wavering tentacle... Perhaps no figure better embodies the transition from the Gothic tradition to modern horror than Arthur Machen. In the final decade of the nineteenth century, the Welsh writer produced a seminal body of tales of occult horror, spiritual and physical corruption, and malignant survivals from the primeval past which horrified and scandalised-late-Victorian readers.

Machen's 'weird fiction' has influenced generations of storytellers, from H. P. Lovecraft to Guillermo Del Toro-and it remains no less unsettling today.

This new collection, which includes the complete novel The Three Impostors as well as such celebrated tales as The Great God Pan and The White People, constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of Machen yet to appear. In addition to the core late-Victorian horror classics, a selection of lesser-known prose poems and later tales helps to present a fuller picture of the development of Machen's weird vision. The edition's introduction and notes contextualise the life and work of this foundational figure in the history of horror.

Συγγραφέας

O μεγάλος Ουαλός συγγραφέας του Φανταστικού, Arthur Machen (1863-1947), ήταν ο δημιουργός ιδιαίτερα παράξενων έργων, όπως τα: "The great God Pan", "The inmost light", "The white people", "The three impostors", "The novel of the black seal", "The novel of the white powder", "The secret glory", "The great return", "The terror", "The shining pyramid", "The bowmen", "A fragment of life", "House of souls", "Tales of horror and the supernatural", και πολλών άλλων, καθώς και ενός πλήθους άρθρων, δοκιμίων και μυστικιστικών μελετών. Έζησε μια ζωή αφιερωμένη στη λογοτεχνία, στη μελέτη, στον μυστικισμό, στην αναζήτηση του Θαυμαστού, στις περιηγήσεις, στη φυσιολατρία, στις ασυνήθιστες και λεπτεπίλεπτες ενασχολήσεις ενός εκκεντρικού. Το έργο "Ο λόφος των ονείρων" ("The hill of dreams") θεωρείται το αριστούργημά του, μια νουβέλα για ονειροπόλους, συγκαλυμμένα αυτοβιογραφική, αξεπέραστα ψυχεδελική, ένα ρομαντικό decadent όραμα, μια λογοτεχνική μεταστοιχείωση της πραγματικότητας.
