La llamada de Cthulhu

Rate this book
Entre 1921 y 1935, H.P. Lovecraft, maestro del terror, escribió su ciclo de obras más célebre, Los mitos de Cthulhu, con los que sentó las bases del horror cósmico y creó un universo narrativo que ha trascendido generaciones. En sus relatos, seres tan antiguos como el tiempo aguardan el momento de liberar su influencia malévola en el mundo, como el gran Cthulhu, que invade los sueños de los hombres desde su morada en las profundidades del océano. Su mitología no solo redefinió el género del terror tanto en Occidente como en Oriente, sino que ha inspirado innumerables obras de literatura, cine, videojuegos, cómic y manga.

Esta edición presenta su primera traducción latinoamericana, con la que se unifica su lenguaje para ofrecer una lectura fluida y fiel al estilo de Lovecraft. Este volumen reúne los cuatro relatos que dieron origen al ciclo: La ciudad sin nombre, El ceremonial, La llamada de Cthulhu y El color salido del espacio.

About the author

H.P. Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction.

Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft's protagonists usually achieve the mirror-opposite of traditional gnosis and mysticism by momentarily glimpsing the horror of ultimate reality.

Although Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, his reputation has grown over the decades. He is now commonly regarded as one of the most influential horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting widespread and indirect influence, and frequently compared to Edgar Allan Poe.

tengo entendido que Lovecraft es casi que una eminencia para muchos, pero girl… i didn’t get a word…

por lo demás, considerando la cantidad absurda de palabras rimbombantes que usaba este susodicho, me parece que la traducción es 10/10
