O ovoj e-knjizi
A series of "ripping yarns" as they'd say in a book such as, well, a book such as this. The tales of a valiant late 19th Century gentleman of leisure, Carnacki, investigating unexplained occurrences about the British Isles. The stories are told in a format similar to that of the Sherlock Holmes tales, in that the narrator is passing on the stories as told by Carnacki.
O autoru
William Hope Hodgson, born on November 15, 1877, in Essex, England, was a pioneering figure in early 20th-century speculative fiction. His life was as adventurous as his stories, marked by a stint at sea that profoundly influenced his writing. Hodgson's maritime experiences lent authenticity to his nautical horror tales, setting him apart in the literary world.Hodgson's work is characterized by its blend of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, often exploring the unknown and the supernatural. His vivid imagination and innovative narrative techniques have left a lasting impact on the genre, inspiring contemporary writers like H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King. Lovecraft, in particular, praised Hodgson's ability to evoke cosmic horror, a theme that would become central to Lovecraft's own work.Despite his literary contributions, Hodgson's life was not without controversy. He was known for his outspoken views on physical fitness and self-defense, which he championed through public lectures and writings. His emphasis on physical prowess and discipline was revolutionary at a time when such topics were not widely discussed.Tragically, Hodgson's promising career was cut short by World War I. He enlisted in the British Army and served with distinction, but he was killed in action in April 1918 during the Fourth Battle of Ypres. His untimely death at the age of 40 robbed the literary world of a unique and innovative voice.Today, Hodgson's work continues to captivate readers with its eerie atmospheres and imaginative scope. His legacy endures, not only through his influence on subsequent generations of writers but also in the continued relevance of his themes of exploration and the confrontation with the unknown.
