The Moon Pool

Autor A. Merritt Editat de Scott T. Barnes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mai 2023
A. Merritt's landmark classic of lost world fiction. The tome that influenced H.P. Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu. Two princesses, one of temptation, power, and naked deceit; one of mercy, trust, and blind truth. Both bound to serve supernatural beings unto death. Both in love with the same man. What do you get when you combine the action of Conan the Barbarian and the lyrical vision of The Martian Chronicles? The Mool Pool recounts the story of a group of adventurers who stumble through a portal into a lost, underground world. A world of incredible science and sublime magic. A world on the brink of war. The adventurers tip it over the edge. Can they save themselves? Can they save the world? One of the first stories of its kind, A. Merritt's The Moon Pool will dazzle you until the final page.

Recenzii

"Students of early science fiction will welcome the University of Nebraska Press's series Bison Frontiers of Imagination."—Times Literary Supplement

“First published as a novel in 1919, this path-breaking genre piece was praised by the New York Times. . . . Merritt was among the first . . . to speculate in fiction about the implications of the new science, archeology, and anthropology at the turn of the century. . . . An entertaining ode to love and sacrifice.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Fantasy, romance, adventure; something of mystery, something of the supernatural; a weaving together of ancient legends, older by far than any historical records, with the scientific knowledge of the present day; and side by side with these, yet far above and mastering them, the power of human love and willing self-sacrifice, the whole held together by a shimmering, glittering web of imagination . . . It marks the debut of a writer possessed of a very unusual, perhaps one might almost call it extraordinary, richness of imagination.”—New York Times Book Review
