ReviewsThere is a melancholy, operatic grandeur in Lovecraft's most passionate work, like At the Mountains of Madness ; a curious elegiac poetry of unspeakable loss, of adolescent despair and an existential loneliness so pervasive that it lingers in the reader's memory, like a dream, long after the rudiments of Lovecraftian plot have faded., With its atypically epic scope and clues to unraveling the Cthulhu mythos, it's no wonder this story inspires the utmost devotion of Lovecraft fans., One of the greatest short novels in Americanliterature and a key text in my own understanding of what that literature cando., Lovecraft's At the Mountain of Madness opens with a newspaper announcement of a voyage to Antarctica...From there, the book launches into the story of Dyer's own, earlier expedition to the Antarctic wasteland, one that culminated in murder and horror in the aforementioned mountains. Lovecraft was a master of writing about indescribable horrors whose visages violate the laws of nature in unsettling ways.

Not good
The book started off very boring. The narrator made it worse. He sounds like he should be reading Shakespeare instead. Would not recommend.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
