Book of Wonder Borgo Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Most fantasy enthusiasts consider Lord Dunsany one of the most significant forces in modern fantasy; his influences have been observed in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, L. Sprague de Camp, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, and many other modern writers. The Book of Wonder is Dunsany at his peak of his talent. The stories here are a lush tapestry of language, conjuring images of people, places, and things which cannot possibly exist, yet somehow ring true. They are, in short, full of wonder. Together with Dunsany's other major collections, A Dreamer's Tales and Tales of Three Hemispheres, they are a necessary part of any fantasy collection. "Not only does any tale which crosshatches between this world and Faerie owe a Founder's Debt to Lord Dunsany, but the secondary world created by J.R.R. Tolkien--from which almost all fantasylands have devolved--also took shape and flower from Dunsany's example." --The Encyclopedia of Fantasy

Lovecraft's Pillow and Other Strange Stories Hippocampus Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Most of us know Kenneth W. Faig, Jr., as one of the leading scholars on H. P. Lovecraft-a meticulous and indefatigable researcher on obscurer corners of the Providence dreamer's life. But over the past several decades, Faig has exhibited enviable skill at fiction-especially fiction that draws upon his deep knowledge of Lovecraft and weird fiction.In this volume we find an augmented edition of Faig's delightful Tales of the Lovecraft Collectors (1995), in which industrious scholars have unearthed surprising facts about Lovecraft's life and work-such as the romance he had with a young Italian girl from Federal Hill. Other stories in the volume continue to draw upon Lovecraft's legacy: "Life and Death," an ingenious hoax purporting to be a lost story by Lovecraft-a hoax that took in many of the leading authorities of the day; "Innsmouth 1984," a revisiting of the setting of Lovecraft's baleful tale of regional horror, "The Shadow over Innsmouth"; and "Gothic Studies," in which fact and fiction are inextricably linked in a tale of a lost Gothic novel.All in all, Lovecraft's Pillow demonstrates both the cleverness and the effectiveness of Kenneth W. Faig, Jr., in the realm of Lovecraftian and weird fiction.

Poor Folk and Other Stories Penguin Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
With their penetrating psychological insight and their emphasis on human dignity, respect and forgiveness, Dostoyevsky's early short stories contain the seeds of the themes that came to his major novels. "Poor Folk", the author's first great literary triumph, is the story of a tragic relationship between an impoverished copy clerk and a young seamstress, told through their passionate letters to each other. In "The Landlady", Dostoyevsky portrays a dreamer hero who is captivated by a curious couple and becomes their lodger. Mr. Prokharchin, inspired by a true story, is a sly comedy centring on an eccentric miser, and Polzunkov is a powerful character sketch which, in common with the other tales in this volume, questions the very nature of existence.
